- 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 and 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
- “The Premier Corex Ltd group has had a strong year of trading in the context of the oil and gas downturn in the North East of Scotland.”
- “During the year, 93% (2023 - 95%) of turnover has come from international (Rest of the World) markets, with much of this International work being performed by our Aberdeen facilities but increasingly also from our laboratories in Egypt, and the expansion of our laboratory in Kuwait.”

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
