Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The financial statements of Plate Newco 3 Limited included a material uncertainty related to going concern resulting from the uncertainty around securing an extension to the maturity of the Super Senior Facility, and, in the unlikely event that the debt is called, its ability to obtain alternative funding. This may have a direct impact on its ability to provide the required financial support to the Company and as a result this indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.”

Year-on-year

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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
