Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Sumer Auditco Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”
Significant events
- “On 16th December 2024 the Company changed its name to Exentec U.K. Hargreaves Ltd ("the Company"). This action was taken to align our business to the Exyte Group and in particular the Exentec division.”
- “During the year SFS, a sub-division of the Company delivering smoke control systems for residential and commercial buildings, was closed so that as a business we can continue to focus on our core sectors of Defence, Transport, Energy/Decom and continue to add other high-tech facilities to our portfolio.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
