- Affirmed
“After making due enquiries and considering the impact of global and local inflationary pressures, the access to funds, potential downside scenarios, cross guarantees with fellow members of the UK Group cash pool, and strength of the ultimate parent undertaking, Veralto Corporation, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation during the going concern assessment period to 31 December 2026. These considerations included the impact of inflationary pressures on the company, as well as the wider UK and Veralto Corporation group. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
