“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concem for a period to June 2026. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons: The directors have undertaken a going concern review in which they considered cash flow forecasts covering the period to June 2026 (the going concern assessment period). This review took place in the context of Pacific Bidco Limited's borrowing facilities, which total £300m and run until April 2029, debt which partially funded the Portakabin Acquisition, as well as intercompany loans from Pacific Bidco Limited to three Portakabin entities, including Portakabin (Site Accommodation) Limited, recognised on completion of the Portakabin Acquisition. ... Pacific Bidco Limited has further indicated its intention not to require repayment of any of the intercompany loans recognised on completion of the Portakabin Acquisition during the going concern assessment period. Further, the company's ultimate parent company, Pacific Topco Limited, has provided a written assurance that it will provide such financial support to the company to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, but only in the event funds are not otherwise available to the company to meet its liabilities. Following this review the directors concluded that, based on the cash forecasts and the funding facilities in place, they are confident that the group and company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and consequently have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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.
