- Affirmed
“The General Partner believes the Partnership will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.”

Significant events
- “The management of the business and the execution of the Group's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks affecting the Group are considered to relate to cash flow management, facility management compliance and review of the insurance cover and lifecycle profile. The Group is exposed to inflation risk as some of its operational costs are RPI linked. This risk is mitigated as an element of the Group's availability income is also linked to RPI. The board formally reviews risks and appropriate processes are put in place to mitigate them.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
