Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1.3 in the financial statements, which highlights a material uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company is dependent on the ongoing support of its banking and financing arrangements. The presence of a formal review of these facilities within the foreseeable future represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Significant events
- “Due to new UK legislation the company ceased the processing of cable line reducing turnover by approximately £8M and embarked on a cost restructuring programme, which it has continued through to 2025 resulting in the sale of the Waste Division (Oct 25) enabling a further reduction in bank debt of £1M.”
- “The Company since the end of 2024 to November 2025 has significantly reduced bank debt from £9M to £7.2M.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, in February 2025, the company made the decision to vacate one of its office premises, which was previously occupied under a lease agreement. This decision has resulted in the lease becoming onerous.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
