- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed the suitability of using the Going Concern assumption in preparing these accounts. In making this assessment the Directors have considered the future funding requirements of the pension scheme. Due to the triennial statutory valuation performed as of 1 April 2023, which showed a surplus of £5.67m, funding requirements were stopped as at 1st July 2024. The next valuation is due as at 1 April 2026. The Company has the benefit of a guarantee from a fellow subsidiary undertaking in respect of any liabilities that might attach to it in respect of funding the pension scheme. Based on this the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these accounts. The Directors have therefore concluded that it remains appropriate to continue to prepare the Company's financial statements using the Going Concern assumption.”

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
