Based on the forecasts prepared, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The Company was in legal dispute with a third party relating to a substantial capital project that was completed in the year being reported. The legal process had relied on adjudication as well as further negotiation to resolve an overall settlement. Following the end of the year being reported the Company and the third party agreed on a final settlement. As a result, the Company has recognised a liability to the third party relating to this final settlement. This liability forms part of the other creditors balance at year end (see note 14). As part of the settlement agreement the Company is due to pay the outstanding settlement monies in two parts a first payment now, and a final part payment in the first half of 2026; as at the time of signing the Company was in the process of settling the first part payment.”
- “To date, the conflict in Ukraine has not posed any significant risks to the business, however the directors continue to monitor the situation closely.”
- “To date, the situation in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal has not posed any significant risks to the business, however the directors continue to monitor the situation closely.”

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
