Audit & accounting basis

- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has a net current liabilities position due to operational losses incurred. The directors have received confirmation from the Company's parent Cosmos Topco Limited that it has the financial resources and ability to continue to provide support to the company for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. This should enable the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. Based on this understanding, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end it has been brought to the attention of the Directors that the surrender of UK tax losses by the Company to other UK Group members (in line with the Corporation Tax Act 2010) without consideration represents an unlawful distribution of assets with intrinsic value from the Company for which the Company has not been compensated. Following discussions with our advisors, the company is taking steps to remedy this which will be applied in the next financial period.”

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
