“In assessing the future prospects, the directors have prepared and reviewed the company's and wider group's forecast trading and cash flows for the period to April 2027, together with an assessment of the sufficiency of banking facilities, which were renewed in June 2024, forecast compliance with banking covenants and the risk that contingent liabilities disclosed in note 17 may give rise to additional obligations. The construction order book and tender list is strong. At the balance sheet date, the company had a cash balance of £13,067,195 (2024: £7,766,881) and a strong net current asset position of £15,330,581 (2024: £12,357,499). The directors have formed the judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that the company and wider group has a strong expectation that adequate resources will be available for it to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and consequently it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.”
Significant events

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
