Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Whilst the Company is currently in a net liability position, the Company has a letter of support from its immediate parent company, Octopus Energy Group Limited. The Directors have reviewed the Group's capital and liquidity plans, which indicate the Group continues to operate with sufficient levels of liquidity and capital for at least the next 12 months. Based on this support, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being at least 12 months from date of signing. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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
