Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Cooper Parry Group Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These results, together with current performance trends, future budgets, cash flow forecasts, and subordinated loans, have formed the basis of management's evaluation of the going concern assumption. The directors confirm that the company maintain access to adequate borrowing facilities, remain compliant with statutory and regulatory requirements, and are not aware of any pending legislative or operational developments that could materially impair their continued viability. Taking these factors into account, in addition to the support available from Group companies, the directors are satisfied that the company has sufficient financial resources and operational resilience to continue as going concerns for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the immediate parent company Deltec International Courier Limited company ceased trading and has transferred its trade and assets to the company. The transaction was completed during the financial year, and the associated legal documentation is currently being finalised to formally conclude the process.”
- “During the year, a restatement of the prior year numbers was reported.”
- “A formal structure plan was developed to down scale the UK operation.”
- “The combined effects of reduced volumes, cost inflation, and aggressive price competition led to a decline in revenue and profitability, with the Company reporting a net loss for FY2025. In response, SkyNet has undertaken a range of corrective actions, including route rationalisation, renegotiation of supplier contracts, improved load consolidation, and the introduction of premium, time-definite export services aimed at higher-value customers.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
