- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have considered the ability of the Company to continue on a going concern basis and are satisfied to report positively on this matter. The Directors considered the adequacy of capital reserves, liquid resources and future prospects of the Company in accordance with its strategy. The Directors have obtained confirmations from ADM International Sàrl that the service agreement will be going forwards for in the foreseeable future (to at least 31 July 2026) and have also obtained confirmations that the significant group creditor balances will not be withdrawn for the same period. As such, revenue generated from the 'cost-plus' arrangement is expected to cover expenditure and therefore cash flow requirements will be sufficiently covered by the group balances in place. The Directors do not expect the Company to require any further additional support and are satisfied that the Company is in a position to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period to 31 July 2026 and on this basis, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 1 May 2025, the Company received the conclusions of an HSE investigation regarding a vapour cloud explosion and fire during oil processing at the Erith works on 19 June 2020. In anticipation of prosecution for two offences of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002, the Company has reserved an amount of £540,000 in 2025, which is disclosed in Note 20.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
