Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company itself makes no profit with all returns passed on to the shareholders. It has a negligible net asset position. Shareholders as sole creditors do not require settlement of funds owing until the Company recovers from end customers. Directors consider a remote likelihood of not remaining a going concern for the forecast period.”
Significant events
- “AMP8 runs through to 2030 and the 2024 OFWAT final determination has set investment levels for this investment cycle at approximately twice the level in AMP7.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
