Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have considered the impact of the cost-of-living increases seen in 2024 and the changes in inflation and interest rates over this period and concluded that the company's ability to continue as a going concern has not changed. The market, whilst uncertain, is still generating business at a significant level for the Company to operate within. The Directors have reviewed the ongoing cash requirement of the business, considering any immediate and short-term impacts identified, and with the ongoing support from the immediate parent and the ultimate parent company they have concluded that adequate resources and funding are available to Hydro Building Systems UK Limited should the business require them. The Directors have concluded that the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate. Further details are given in Note 2 to the accounts.”

Significant events

• “The war in Ukraine continues to influence energy costs and associated other issues in the UK market. This has resulted in cost increases from our own suppliers, and as a result, the company has had to increase its own prices in the market, where possible.”
• “The change of the Government in 2024 and subsequent budget restraints has had a negative impact on the construction industry with lower public spending.”

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
