- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Continuous assessments have resulted in the directors having a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for twelve months from the signing date, even in the event of any possible downside scenarios which may have an adverse impact on the performance of the company. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 26 June 2024 a capital contribution of £2,938,000 was recognised, to fund SFL employee bonuses that were triggered by the acquisition of Westinghouse by Brookfield Renewable Partners' and Cameco Corporation from Brookfield Corporation.”

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
