Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have confirmed that adequate financial support will be available from the Company's parent undertakings for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, should it be required, and that sufficient cash reserves are available for use by the Company. Accordingly, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Following the cessation of trade, there are no significant risks or uncertainties surrounding this Company.”
- “The company acknowledges the UK High Court's ruling in June 2023 in the case of Virgin Media Limited vs. NTL Pension Trustees II Limited, which found that certain historical amendments to a previously contracted-out final salary pension scheme were invalid without actuarial certifications. This ruling was appealed, and in July 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision. The company, along with the fund administrators, is evaluating the potential impact of this ruling. As it is currently not possible to estimate any impact, no adjustments have been made to the defined obligation recognized in the financial statements.”

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
