- 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
- “Formerly named Silver Lining Industries Limited, the Company was established in 1980 recycling photographic, x-ray and printing waste for the recovery of silver. Over the years, we have expanded and evolved to recycle an extensive range of hazardous and specialty waste streams from most commercial and industrial sectors.”
- “The Board aim to deliver our strategy of identifying compatible acquisitions in the coming year whilst maintaining a continuous improvement mind-set throughout our business.”

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
