Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“As part of a regular assessment of the Company's performance and position, the directors have assessed the performance of its investments, the risks and associated mitigating actions. This includes the expected dividends to be received and that the Company is a participant in a cash pooling arrangement where it is able to access funds to meet its short-term liquidity needs. In addition, the directors noted that intercompany loans are always reassessed on a Moody's group basis, which includes the option to refinance loans where required. Therefore, the directors believe the Company is well placed to manage its risks and have assessed that there is a reasonable expectation that adequate financial resources will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
