- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In February 2026, the United States and Israel initiated coordinated military strikes on Iran. In March 2026, Iran formally closed the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the Strait remains subject to active disruption and vessel attacks, with transit effectively suspended for most commercial tonnage.”
- “The Group operates as a marine insurance broker. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the broader elevation of war risk in the Persian Gulf has increased demand for war risk cover and associated broking services, with a consequential positive effect on commission income in the period since the year end.”

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
