Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the directors have concluded that there is a material uncertainty in relation to the Company's ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This material uncertainty primarily arises from the ongoing reliance on the revolving loan facilities from a single funder, Woking Borough Council, who are currently under a section 114 notice. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The Company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows over the longer term to repay the funding support received is dependent on a number of uncertain future factors. These factors include inter alia the timing and scale of new customer connections, profit margins achievable on energy supplied to customers, the cost of operations, the impact of future carbon reduction legislation and the availability and cost of future funding support. The challenges facing the Company as regards future funding requirements, the ability to service the debt payable coupled with the significant net liability position, mean that there is uncertainty with regard to its ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “In Woking Town Centre, the CHP brought back into operation in January 2024 ran successfully until January 2025, when a further failure occurred taking the CHP out of action to date. Consequential losses are subject to an insurance claim.”
- “A leak in the Victoria Way buried network was detected beneath the carriageway in November 2024, affecting a single relatively small load, which was managed until excavation and repairs could be coordinated. Arrangements for a temporary supply to support the customer were executed in accordance with contractual agreements while repairs were carried out. Normal supplies were restored in June 2025 following completion of the repair.”
- “In addition, electricity supplies to critical town centre infrastructure were interrupted in January 2025 by rodent damage to high-voltage conductors within the Victoria Way Car Park distribution transformer. Pending the repair, a temporary generator was required. Normal supplies were restored the following month.”
- “The efficiency of the Victoria Square Woking Limited ("VSWL") District Cooling Centre is below industry norms due to poorly performing connected loads.”
- “The new purpose-built energy centre for the ThamesWey Housing Sheerwater development was completed and handed over in December 2024.”
- “Included in the cash balance is £9,424,000 (2024 - £9,424,000) from Heat Networks Investment Project. This amount is ring-fenced for use on a future scheme.”

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
