“The Company generates cash inflows from the operation of long-term contracts for which management can reasonably predict the future financial performance. The Company has net assets of £99,435,000 and net current assets of £130,875,000 at the year end. The Company made a loss of £10,962,000 during the year which was due to a £25,316,000 increase in onerous contract provision recorded in the year. Excluding this, the Company made a profit. This type of expense is not expected to repeat every year and therefore the Company is expected to be profitable and cash generative for the foreseeable future. The Company also participates in the Group's UK cash pool and it has the right to access cash as needed. The Directors have considered this, along with the expected activities of the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, and have reached the conclusion that the Company will be able to meet its future obligations as they fall due and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company's remaining patient transport services contract was novated to G4S Care and Justice Services (UK) Limited in December 2024. The contract's annual revenue is roughly £4,500,000.”
- “During the year the Company recognised £10,866,000 of revenue that was held in deferred income as at 31 December 2023 (2023: £2,689,000 of revenue recognised was held in deferred income as at 31 December 2022), and £Nil (2023: £Nil) of revenue in relation to performance obligations satisfied in prior years.”
- “After year end, the Company received a claim of £17.7m from one of its customers relating to historic services provided. In forming its accounting judgement, the Company obtained independent external legal advice and also considered past experience on claims of similar nature. Both suggest it is highly probable that the Company would be able to successfully defend its position. As a result, revenue recognised in 2024 and in previous years has not been constrained.”
- “In June 2023, Finance (No.2) Act 2023 was substantively enacted in the UK, introducing the OECD's Pillar Two model rules and a global minimum effective tax rate of 15% through implementation of a domestic top-up tax and a multinational top-up tax. The Pillar Two legislation is effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2024.”
- “The Company entered into agreements, among other Group companies, to act as guarantors in respect of the $1,050,000,000 senior secured notes issued on 12 June 2025 by Allied Universal Holdco LLC and Allied Universal Finance Corporation (the "Issuers", and part of the Allied Universal Group and the Company's parent group of companies), the net proceeds of which have been used to redeem all outstanding 9.750% senior notes due 2027 in aggregate principal amount of $1,050,000,000 as well as pay associated expenses incurred in connection with the notes offering.”

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
