Material uncertainty over going concern
Given the financial position of the Company, the conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern (note: the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern). However at the time of signing these accounts the directors have not been notified of any additional claim and therefore consider the Company has a reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient resources to pay its liabilities as they fall due. In making this assessment the directors have paid particular attention to the 12 month period following the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus, the directors consider it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Significant events
- “As reported in the prior year, the Company received a significant defects claim from SWS which the Company has disputed and as a result Court proceedings are underway. At the date of signing these accounts the case is on-going and there remains uncertainty as to the outcome. Due to the commercial sensitivity of the above matter, given legal proceedings are on-going, no further details can be disclosed at this time.”

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
