Audit opinion

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Directors consider it appropriate to prepare these accounts on the basis of the business being a going concern. Chirton Engineering Limited is 'held for sale' by its parent company Fevara plc, which creates material uncertainty over the identity and financial position of any buyer. However, the Directors have concluded that it is reasonable to prepare the accounts on a Going Concern basis due to confirmed financial support from Fevara plc until December 2026.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
