Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statement has been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The company has net current assets, net assets and positive cash, the company has no external borrowings. The company is also part of Sulzer AG and has access to funding support if required. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared by the directors for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue trading for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The Company has received a letter of support from the parent company who states their intention to continue to provide financial support to the business if or as required.”

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
