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 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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 28 April 2020, the Company announced the investment of €29,100,000 by CEZ a.s. ("CEZ") for a 51% equity interest in Geomet, the Company's wholly owned Czech subsidiary at the time, and holder of the Cinovec licenses, had been completed. The Company ceased to fully consolidate Geomet's results within European Metals Holdings Limited's consolidated accounts effective from this date and commenced equity accounting its investment in Geomet, as an associate.”
- “In May 2023, the Company agreed to a further investment of €3,430,000 to maintain its 49% shareholding. The Company inadvertently neglected to provide for this obligation as a payable at 30 June 2023, and accordingly also understated its investment by this amount.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
