Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Nuvo Accountancy Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Increased investment in marketing, acquisition of additional assets, and streamlining of internal processes have enabled a strong increase in both turnover and profitability.”
- “We continue to develop our main site at Ginhouse Lane with continued investment in plant whilst development on the Sheffield site has continued throughout the year, to aid with future expansion.”
- “The company undertook research and development in the year in the fields of production of biomass fuel from contaminated waste wood materials, conversion of MSW waste into RDF and SRF pellets, and state-of-the-art electrical cable recycling. There was also research into aggregate productions from construction and demolition waste streams which was aborted due to failed implementation.”
