- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the Company's financial position and are satisfied that this, combined with the continued financial support from Alter Domus Global S.à r.l., which has been confirmed as in place until at least 31 August 2027, will allow the Company to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 30 October 2024, Eighth Cinven Fund ("Cinven"), a London-based international Private Equity firm, acquired a majority stake in Chrysaor Topco S.à r.l. (incorporated in Luxembourg), which indirectly owns 100% of Chrysaor Bidco S.à r.l. (incorporated in Luxembourg) - the parent entity of the Alter Domus Group.”
- “During April 2025, the Management identified that between financial years 2019 and 2023, the Company transferred its tax losses to fellow Group companies in order to reduce taxable profits. However, no corresponding intercompany balances were recognised to reflect the benefit of these transfers.”
- “A rectification plan was implemented during 2025, whereby: Resolutions: The directors of the relevant Group companies passed resolutions to redesignate each tax loss surrender (distribution) made between 2019 and 2023 as an intra-group loan; Deeds of Release: Deeds of release were executed in favour of directors to discharge them from potential claims associated with their approval of the unlawful distributions.”
- “As a result of the rectification plan, an additional tax income of £262,974 has been recognised in the current year, with a corresponding increase in amounts receivable from Group companies.”
