- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate. The directors have performed a going concern assessment which indicates that the Company will require additional funds, through funding from its ultimate company, Entain Plc to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern assessment period. Entain plc has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts currently due to the group, which at 31 December 2024 amounted to £128.9m, during the going concern assessment period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company 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.”

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
