- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“The company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements notwithstanding that it is reliance on its parent company, Aldgate Education Midco 2 Limited for the financial support. ... At the date of approving these financial statements, no sales agreement has been signed and no formal commitment from the lenders to waive this breach of covenants has been secured. Therefore, this represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group and company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
