“As detailed in Note 1.2 to the financial statements, an intermediate parent undertaking, VHL, has formally indicated that it is its present intention to provide sufficient funding to the Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for at least the next twelve months. The Directors have no reason to believe that VHL will not be in a position to provide this support. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
