- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The East London Waste Authority (Authority) wrote to the Company in February 2025 to challenge the annual reconciliation of the Baseline Payment. The parties have agreed that if the Authority's claim is valid that it can only relate to the Baseline Payment reconciliations made starting with the Contract Year 2018-19. Without prejudice, the parties have agreed that over the 6 years in question, the reconciliation of the Baseline Payments totalled £893,475. The above also impacts Biffa Treatment Services Ltd (Biffa) as Operator because part of the reconciliation payments made by the Authority to the Company were passed on to Biffa. The sum calculated as being passed on to Biffa over the above period was £271,940, thus it is estimated that the Company's liability could be £621,535. It is expected that this matter will be resolved by the parties before 31 March 2026.”

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
