Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have forecasted the likely cash requirements of the Company for the period to 31 December 2026 and are satisfied that they will have access to sufficient liquidity based on current internal forecasts and projections. The directors have also received confirmation of ongoing financial support by means of group support letter from the ultimate parent company, ALS Ltd, for a period to 31 December 2026. Having made appropriate enquiries of the extent, willingness and ability of the parent to provide such support, should it be required, the directors have therefore concluded that the Company is a going concern for a period to 31 December 2026.”

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
