Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Brown Butler
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The directors have obtained a letter of parental support from the ultimate parent, H.B. Fuller Company, which confirms they are committed to support the company to fulfil all of its obligations for a period of 15 months from the date of signing these financial statements, which is consistent with the company's going concern assessment. The directors have assessed the ability of H.B. Fuller Company, to provide this financial support should it be required and noted no issues. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In August 2024 H.B. Fuller acquired HS Butyl Ltd., H.B. Fuller is a global leader in the supply of adhesive technologies, dedicated and able to provide world-class solutions and technical support to its customer base in the construction, engineering, and consumer markets. Combined, HS Butyl and H.B. Fuller become a leader in the globally expanding butyl tape industry.”
- “It is expected that the trade, assets and liabilities of the company will be transferred to another H.B Fuller entity - H.B. Fuller UK Manufacturing Ltd in October 2025.”
- “The company is planning to transfer its trade, assets and liabilities to other group companies in October 2025 as part of a group reorganisation. This planned transaction would be a non-adjusting event under Section 28 of FRS 102.”
