- Affirmed
“The Company generates its revenues and cash flows from the provision of cash processing services for customers. The Company has net assets of £57.2 million and net current assets of £50.5 million as at the year end. In addition the Company generated a profit of £8.4 million during the year and is expected to be profitable and cash generative for the foreseeable future. As at 30 November 2025, the Company had receivables under a cash pooling arrangement with G4S Cash Solutions (UK) Limited of £65.4 million. On 15 December 2025 a loan agreement was put in place between the Company and G4S Cash Solutions (UK) Limited under which the Company has undertaken not to demand repayment of £30 million of this intercompany amount before 31 January 2027. The director has prepared sensitivity analysis on the results of its operations for the 12 months following the date of these financial statements which show that, considering various downside assumptions for revenues and expenditure, the Company will be able to meet its future obligations as and when they fall due having taken full account of the £30 million of its receivable from G4S Cash Solutions (UK) Limited not repayable until 31 January 2027. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company entered into agreements, among other Group companies, to act as guarantors in respect of the $1,050,000,000 senior secured notes issued on 12 June 2025 by Allied Universal Holdco LLC and Allied Universal Finance Corporation (the "Issuers", and part of the Allied Universal Group and the Company's parent group of companies), the net proceeds of which have been used to redeem all outstanding 9.750% senior notes due 2027 in aggregate principal amount of $1,050,000,000 as well as pay associated expenses incurred in connection with the notes offering.”

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
