Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“While the company is in a net liability position as at 31 May 2025, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources due to adequate parent support to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The Company has access to facilities held by PZ Cussons plc, on which there is currently considerable headroom. The directors of the Company have sought, and obtained in writing, confirmation from the directors of PZ Cussons plc that any such support as may be required to enable the Company to fulfil its obligations as they fall due would be provided, given the net current liability position of the Company. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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
