Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reviewed forecasts covering the twelve months from the date of this report, which demonstrate that the Company is expected to generate profits and positive cash flows, and that it possesses adequate cash reserves to meet its obligations as they fall due. Furthermore, the Company's funds are administered through a centralised cash pooling arrangement within the Howmet Aerospace Group and remain readily accessible. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
