“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the directors have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements (the 'Going Concern Period'). The directors also considered material events and conditions immediately beyond that period up to 31 March 2027, and concluded these did not introduce any material uncertainties.”
Significant events
- “As at 31 May 2025, CK Hutchison Group Telecom Holdings Limited ("CKHGTH"), the Company's intermediate holding entity, and Vodafone Group Pic ("Vodafone") successfully completed the transaction to merge their UK telecommunications operations (the "Transaction").”
