Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Director has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Company's financial position and liquidity needs for the period up to 31 December 2026, using financial forecasts that reflect the Company's expected performance and cash flow requirements. Despite this analysis, the Director has concluded that, in the absence of further mitigating actions, the forecasts alone do not provide sufficient assurance of liquidity headroom over the going concern period, particularly when considering plausible downside scenarios such as adverse economic conditions or operational disruptions. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Company's liquidity position, the Director sought written confirmation from the ultimate parent undertaking, OLA Energy Holdings ("OEHL"), regarding OEHL's intention and ability to provide the necessary financial support to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern period up to 31 December 2026.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
