Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the Directors' expectation is that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company passed a special resolution to reduce the nominal value of each of the Company's issued ordinary shares from £1 to £0.01, thereby reducing the Company's issued share capital from £7,040,114 to £70,401.”
- “During the year, the Company declared a dividend of £4,000,000 to its immediate parent, Gemini Energy Limited. It was subsequently identified that the Company did not have sufficient distributable reserves to declare the dividend because depreciation had not been taken into account and as such it was deemed to be unlawful.”
- “On 27 March 2025 the Company made a payment of £3,000,000 to its immediate parent Gemini Energy Limited as payment of accrued interest on its intercompany loan from Gemini Energy Limited.”
- “Following the identification that the £4,000,000 dividend paid to Gemini Energy Limited in December 2024 was unlawful, management have sought legal advice on this issue and the proposed legal remediation is for a clawback of the unlawful element which will be settled through a deed of offset. The legal implementation of the rectification is expected to be completed within 4 weeks of signing of the accounts.”

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
