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

- Gravita Audit II Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by receiving support from its parent company Quatra International BV. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, our primary focus was on increasing operational efficiency across various aspects of the business. A key component of this initiative was the rezoning of our routes and optimizing the deployment of drivers.”
- “In addition, we reviewed the logistical network of depots to further reduce costs.”
- “We introduced a set of fixed KPIs and performance measurement systems to better monitor and evaluate our performance.”
- “The company has made an asset purchase in the year and included within the agreement is an Earnout Clause. Should certain criteria be met regarding the volumes collected by barrels an amount of £290,000 will be payable.”
- “The amounts discussed in Note. 19 in relation to the Earnout have been paid post year end amounting to £290,000.”
