- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company is a 100% owned subsidiary of Aurora Care and Education Holdings Limited... The Company has received a letter of support from the directors of the Octopus Group Holdings Limited; the indirect parent company; which states it will continue to provide financial support to enable the Company to meet all its current and future obligations for a period of at least 12 months from date of signing of these financial statements. As with any company placing reliance on other Group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Based on this undertaking the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company was incorporated on 13 February 2023 and the prior year period end date has been extended to 30 April 2024 in order to align the Company's year end with the wider Group. On 28 February 2023, as part of a legal entity restructure to simplify The Aurora Group, the business assets of Aurora Meldreth Manor and Aurora Orchard Manor were transferred into the Company as a going concern for a sum equal to their net book value.”
