- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which has been supported by the provision of a parental letter of support from SSE plc. The Group letter of support confirms that the Group will provide support to 31 December 2026 where required. The Directors are satisfied that the Group has the ability to provide this support, should it be required. Having reviewed the financial strength of the Group, the Directors are satisfied that the Group, and the Company itself, will remain funded for the Going Concern period through to 31 December 2026. The Directors have therefore concluded it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
