- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company did not file its audited financial statements within the timeframe required under the covenants in the Collateral Deed. As a consequence, the listed bond issued by the Octagon Healthcare Funding PLC, which was onloaned to the Company, was suspended from trading and a covenant breach arose under the relevant financing arrangements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
