“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and not less than one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In making this assessment the Directors have considered the latest forecasts prepared by the Company. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “At 31 December 2025 the Company had a bank guarantee of £16m in place in favour of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, in respect of Excise Duty Deferment (2024: £24m).”
- “In Q1 2026, subsequent to the reporting date, the Company made the decision to release one of the company's office leases located at 18 Grosvenor Gardens, London, SW1W 0DH. This is considered a non-adjusting event as the conditions leading to this decision arose after the reporting period.”
