Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The trading subsidiary, BHGS Limited has experienced a significant loss in the 18 month period and in the following 6 months due to increasing costs and ongoing market volatility. Forecasts have been prepared to June 2027 and indicate that, without additional short term working capital funding, the subsidiary may face liquidity pressures in the future. Management is actively pursuing new customers, implementing cost-saving measures, and negotiating with lenders to secure additional financing. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the subsidiary's ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, based on the mitigating actions in progress, the reasonable expectation of securing additional funding and the assets held within the parent company, management believes that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate for the group as a whole. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the group were unable to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “We extended our financial year from December 2024 to June 2025 to coincide with the implementation of our new software system. Unfortunately, significant delays meant the platform did not go live until late 2025.”
• “We faced unprecedented weather-the wettest spring and hottest summer on record-alongside substantial regulatory and overhead increases, including National Insurance hikes, new minimum wage legislation, and waste packaging regulations.”
• “We also streamlined our structure by merging Pure Supplies Ltd into BHGS Ltd, with the former now remaining a dormant company.”
• “The trade within Pure Supplies Limited was hived across to BHGS Limited with effect from 30 September 2024.”
