- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Post year end the business has further strengthen our operational team separating out the General Manager roles for the South England and London regions to better support future growth of the business.”
- “In the North of England, we have been successful in the tender of two long term local council frameworks giving future stability of revenues in the North for the coming years.”
- “We have also seen challenges with a key client in the South of England. This remains an on-going situation we are monitoring, but remain confident that it can be satisfactorily resolved within the coming months.”
- “Our R&D function continues to make progress with the development on our traffic light project, with significant investment during the year as production commenced on a first batch of units which will come into service during the next financial year.”

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
