- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors conclude they have adequate resources, in the form of cash and liquid financial assets to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements. Consequently, the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis for the going concern period to 31 December 2026, which is 15 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.”
- “In June 2023, the High Court in the UK handed down a decision in the case of Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited and others relating to the validity of certain historical pension changes due to the lack of actuarial confirmation required by law. This case may have implications for other plans that were contracted-out and made changes between 1997 and 2016.”

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
