“As at 31 December 2024, the Company is in a net current liabilities position. To support the preparation of the Financial Statements on a going concern basis, GKN Enterprise Limited, a fellow group undertaking, has provided written confirmation that the amount which it is owed by the Company will not be recalled within 12 months of the date of signing of these Financial Statements.

Significant events
- “The Company shows a profit after tax for the year of £11 million (2023: profit of £16 million) primarily driven by foreign exchange losses, which are offset by dividend income and finance income received from fellow group undertakings.”
- “During the year, the Company has changed its presentation of amounts receivable from and amounts payable to Group undertakings within the Balance Sheet. The Company was previously netting certain arrangements with the same counterparty, however it was determined that the correct current and prior year presentation should be on a gross basis. Prior year comparatives have been restated accordingly.”

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
