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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has a clear view of the longer-term cash industry volumes and have aligned financial forecasts appropriately. The directors (after having taken into consideration the reliance placed on the shareholder banks for their continued support, business and funding as outlined in the Cash Services Agreements in place with each of them) have reasonable expectations that the business will continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future so have adopted this basis when preparing these accounts. The Cash Services Agreements have, been renegotiated for a period of three years and are now in place until at least 31st January 2027.”
Significant events
- “Revenue decreased due to the transition away from offering Managed Services and continued focus on cost efficiencies.”
- “Cash volumes declined in the year by 4.0% due to reductions in Shareholder Bank branch volumes.”
- “The Company continues to consolidate its market position through high retention of its current Shareholder bank customers and seeks to increase market share through new business acquisition.”
- “The shareholder banks long-term investment in the on-going project to replace the Cash Centre System (CCS) completed during the year.”
- “Implementation of the new Bank of England Oversight Regime for Wholesale Cash Distribution (Company formally recognised in June this year).”
