Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-06-30

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 2 to the financial statements concerning the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's financing facilities are dependent on the AIL II Group's (Amphora Intermediate II Limited and its subsidiaries, together referred to hereinafter as 'the Group' or the AIL II Group) agreements with its lenders under the Senior Facilities Agreement ('SFA'). As such the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the going concern assessment of the Group. As disclosed in the AIL II Group financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the AIL II Group to continue as a going concern. The Company is reliant on access to funding via the Group's treasury function and on the ongoing liquidity and financial support of the AIL II Group, including by not seeking repayment of the amounts currently owed by the Company. Accordingly, the existence of a material uncertainty at the Group level results in a material uncertainty for the Company. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company were unable to continue as a going concern. 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.”
