- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the financial resources require for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, which indicate that, taking into account reasonably possible downsides, including the impact of a potential economic downturn and higher inflationary environment, the company will have sufficient funds through its recoverable net current assets and net assets to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and so the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “The company is subject to a multiparty 'class action' in Argentina in respect of legacy operations. However, the company has determined that the possibility of any outflow in respect of this exposure is remote given the robust defences that the company has been advised that it has on procedural and substantive grounds and, as such, there is no contingent or actual liability to be disclosed in respect of this.”
- “Following a review undertaken during the year, the company has determined that the possibility of any outflow in respect of performance guarantees or warranties is remote and, as such, there are no contingent liabilities to be disclosed in respect of these (2024: £nil).”

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
