- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have reviewed detailed profit and cash flow forecasts considering reasonably foreseeable potential scenarios and uncertainties, including sensitivity testing, in relation to income, expenditure, and cash flows for a period of 12 months from the sign off of these financial statements. The company is party to a Hero Topco Limited group, group wide funding arrangement, which is repayable in April 2029 and requires specific covenants to be met. In assessing the going concern of the group as a whole, the directors have also assessed potential scenarios and uncertainties in relation to such covenants. The directors are confident that the group and company, after considering downside scenarios, have the ability to pay debts as they fall due for at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements and to meet all relevant covenants tests and as such have deemed it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.”
