The company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development and position, are set out in the Business Review section of the directors report in the consolidated financial statements.
The company had net liabilities at the end of the year. The company participates in the group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries.
The directors, having assessed the responses of the directors of the company's parent NHC Holdings Limited to their enquiries have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the NHC Holdings Limited group to continue as a going concern or its ability to continue with the
current banking arrangements.
On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position and of the enquiries made of the directors of NHC Holdings Limited, the company directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the annual financial statements has been used.
The ultimate parent company NHC Holdings Limited has confirmed its intention to support the company in meeting its liabilities as they fall due, and consequently the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
