- Affirmed
“The LLP has net current liabilities at the year end. As shown in note 11 to the financial statements these arise by virtue of amounts owed to Group undertakings. The members have taken into account possible changes in trading performance in light of current economic conditions, other longer term plans and the receipt of written assurances from Hogan Lovells International LLP that repayment of amounts owed to Group undertakings will not be required for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements except to the extent that such payments can be made while the LLP continues to settle all other liabilities as and when they fall due. Hogan Lovells International LLP has produced forecasts and cash flow projections, that have also been sensitised to reflect potential declines in revenue in the latter part of 2025 and an additional twelve months. These demonstrate the Group has sufficient funding to enable the Group to continue to provide support as is needed. Accordingly the members are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
