- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is financed by bank facilities accessed through a group cash pooling arrangement operated by VINCI Finance International, a fellow subsidiary undertaking of VINCI SA. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in performance show that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors have confirmed that the groups cash pool facilities will be in place for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements and that the company will support its immediate subsidiaries should it be required. The directors have reasonable expectations that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
