Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the company's financial position, cash flows, and future prospects in assessing the company's ability to continue as going concern. Due to the amounts owed to parent undertakings, which are due within one year the directors of the company have received a letter from the intermediate parent company, BIC Holding AB, confirming that they will continue to provide financial and other support to the company to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. This includes not seeking the repayment of amounts due to group undertakings, currently due as at 31 December 2024 of £2,412,000 for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing the audit report for the year ended 31 December 2024. The directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “On the 30 April 2024 Becker Industrial Coatings Limited went through restructuring transaction with Becker Holdings Limited whereby Becker Industrial Coatings Limited issued 10,500,000 shares at £1 per share to Becker Holdings Limited in exchange for a reduction in the intercompany loan balance with Becker Industrial Coatings Holding AB of £10,500,000. During the restructure no physical cash was transferred.”
• “On the 2 June 2025 Becker Industrial Coatings Limited completed a reduction of its share capital by cancelling and extinguishing 5,398,726 ordinary shares of £1 each in the capital of the company, each of which is fully paid up and the amount by which the share capital was so reduced was credited to the distributable reserves of the company. This was approved by the directors on 20 May 2025. The transaction occurred after the balance sheet date of 31 December 2024 and therefore has not been reflected in these financial statements.”
• “On 31 July 2025, the directors declared and paid an interim dividend of £800,000 in respect of the year ending 31 December 2025. This dividend has not been recognised as a liability in these financial statements as it relates to the subsequent financial year.”

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
