Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG Channel Islands Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (the "going concern period").”
Significant events
- “The Ukraine conflict has had a sustained positive impact on the long-term power price projections.”
- “The Trump administration has laid out a trade policy focused on increasing US tariffs. Given this could cause disruption and uncertainty for companies, the management team continues to closely monitor the situation and assess the implications the trade policy has on the wider supply chain.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
