Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Based upon these forecasts, and the ability of the company to call upon its share of the RHI Magnesita NV group liquidity arrangements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue trading for the foreseeable future and be able to meet its obligations when they fall due. They therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a basis of going concern.”

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
