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 & accounting basis

- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company currently has enough financial resources to sustain current operations. The main debtor of the Company is a cash on account balance with a fellow group company. There are no concerns over the recoverability of this amount, and it will be sufficient to cover any obligations that the Company has in the period to 31 December 2026 and, as such, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. Furthermore, the Company is a member of the Group cash pooling arrangement, and the Directors are satisfied that these arrangements will remain in place at least for the period to 31 December 2026.”
Significant events
- “On 27th June 2024, TotalEnergies signed an agreement with The Prax Group to sell its entire shareholding in the West of Shetland assets in the United Kingdom (Laggan, Tormore, Glenlivet, Edradour and Glendronach fields, the onshore Shetland Gas Plant and nearby exploration licences).”
- “Following the announcements at the end of June 2025 indicating that certain companies within the Prax Group have been placed into Administration (State Oil Limited) or Liquidation (Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery Limited, Prax Storage Lindsey Limited, and Prax Terminals Killingholme Limited), the Directors are evaluating the situation and its impact on the transaction with Prax.”
