Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have reviewed forecasted cashflow, results and banking facilities. In considering the cashflow the directors have given due regard to the likely timing of receipts from claims which are in an adjudication process and continuation of parent company support.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
