Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern

“The Director's belief that the company can continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the financial statement's authorisation date, supported by cash flow forecasts, a review of risks, consideration of the available financial facilities and the group support letter.”
Significant events
- “On 1 June 2023, Incora's predecessor (Wesco Aircraft Holdings Inc.) and forty-three of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Debtors"), including all UK group companies, filed voluntary petitions for relief under title 11 of the U.S. Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in Case No. 23-90611 before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors proposed a plan of reorganisation (the "Chapter 11 Plan"), which was accepted by the requisite majorities of creditors and was confirmed (approved) by the Bankruptcy Court on 27 December 2024. The Debtors implemented the Chapter 11 Plan on January 31, 2025, thereby emerging from U.S. bankruptcy oversight with a stable and de-leveraged capital structure.”

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
