Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered in detail the Company's financial forecast over the period until the end of March 2027 and this shows that the Company is forecast to make profits, be cash generative and hold a significant cash balance at the end of that period. On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position the Company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Company turnover has been adversely impacted through 2025 from the failure of one of the Company's two turbines in May 2023. The failure is covered by insurance and subject to the policy deductibles.”
• “The new administration building has modern and more efficient insulation, LED lighting throughout and solar panel installed on the roof. A salary sacrifice electric vehicle scheme has been implemented and offered to employees. Rainwater capture and storage systems have been discussed for investigation as a future project for non-potable application.”

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
