Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have considered the maturity date of the Company's net current liabilities of £941k (2023: £1,797k net current liabilities), the cash flow forecast for the next 12 months from the date these accounts were approved and the ability of the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have received confirmation from Holcim UK Limited and Hanson Quarry Products Ventures Limited, both of the joint venture partners that support will continue to be made available at levels sufficient to allow the Company to meet its liabilities for a period 12 months from the date of approval of the balance sheet. ... Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources internally and through the support of its joint venture partners, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As such, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
