Going concern
Affirmed

“After making enquiries, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The parent company, Urenco Limited, has agreed to provide sufficient finance, through a letter of support, to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Long term revenue contracts are in place for the provision of deconversion, cylinder wash and long term storage services to other Urenco Group companies. The Directors, therefore, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
