- Affirmed
“Accordingly, the Directors are satisfied that the conditions attached to the letter of support do not give rise to a material uncertainty and that it remains appropriate to place reliance on the continued financial support of the parent undertaking. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period to 31 December 2027.”
