- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Management have reviewed the company's forecast and cashflow projections and taking into account this and the company's ability to rely on parent company support if required, conclude there are no material uncertainties that cause doubt that the company will not continue to trade for the foreseeable future. A letter of support from the ultimate parent company has been provided for a period of at least 12 months after the signing date of the financial statements. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On the 6th May 2025, the ultimate parent company and controlling party of the company voluntarily entered into the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process to carry out a significant financial reorganisation. This process was duly successfully exited on 24th June 2025 with the elimination of the majority of it's legacy debt burden, $1.13b, more than 70%, being removed via the court approved process. This significantly strengthens its capital structure.”

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
