Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company is a subsidiary of Virgin Active Investment Holdings Limited. Virgin Active Investment Holdings Limited and its subsidiary companies are funded through bank loan facilities that service the entire European and APAC Group (the "Group"). The Company therefore belongs to a funding arrangement that the European and APAC Group has access to. When assessing going concern of the Company the director evaluates whether the Group's bank loan facilities are sufficient to cover day-to-day working capital requirements and that there is no shortfall of liquidity during the going concern period. In addition, they check that all covenants within the facilities agreement are complied with. Under both plans (the "base plan" and "the severe but plausible downside plan") the Group is forecast to meet all of its cash flow obligations and applicable covenants during the going concern assessment period; accordingly the director believes it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
