Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have received confirmation from the Directors of Centrica plc that provided the Company remains part of the Group, Centrica plc will support the Company for at least one year after the date of signature of these financial statements and that amounts owed to Group undertakings will not be required to be repaid for the foreseeable future unless sufficient financial resources and facilities are available to the Company that would enable it, after such repayment, to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “While the war in Ukraine continues, alternative sources of gas to replace the Nord Stream 1 pipeline have been secured across Europe, largely through Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) shipped from outside the European continent. The Gaza conflict also has the potential to increase market volatility if wider Middle Eastern states are caught up in the conflict.”

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
