- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have performed an assessment of the financial position of the company and noted that the Company is in a net current asset position. However, when analysing the quantum of the intercompany loan balances, their payment terms and cash available to the Company, the directors have concluded that the company is dependent on its parent entity RWS Holdings plc, for support in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due until 31 October 2026. After considering these forecasts, including the financial and operational ability of RWS Holdings plc to continue as a going concern, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence until 31 October 2026. No material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern have been identified. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period until 31 October 2026 and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
