Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating
-
Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that that the Company is reliant on the financial support from its ultimate parent, who have indicated they are supportive of the Company but the support is not legally or contractually binding. The ultimate parents latest financial statements contain substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, and which may impact the ability of the ultimate parent to continue to provide this support. These matters indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
