Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The parent company has provided a letter of support and will continue to provide the necessary financial support to the Company for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The business experienced a fire in October 2024 within the Steam Pyrolysis section of the plant. This caused an outage of 3 months, however, with support from the parent company and due to a healthy finished goods stock position, built for the planned annual outage, the impact to customers was minimal. An insurance claim is ongoing to cover any losses.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
