Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“These Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which means that the Company will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation, the Director has taken into account the key risks of the business. In doing so the Director has considered the Company's business model. The Company principally incurs administrative costs and recharges these to fellow group companies at a mark-up. The Company was profit-making during the year and has strong cash reserves as of the balance sheet date of £22m. The Director cites, if required, the continued support and liquidity available from the Company's ultimate parent Hexagon AB should it ever be required. This support extends to the unsecured intercompany loan of £97,890k.”

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
