Material uncertainty over going concern
Given this, the Company is unable to operate without financial support from its parent. A capital injection is planned for 2025, and therefore the directors are confident in the Company's ability to continue its operations for at least a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. There is however no legally binding agreement between the Company and its parent company to provide this financial support, and therefore a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
