“The strategic report on page 2, outlines the nature of the business and a review of future prospects. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reviewed the Company's cash flow forecasts and projections and concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its current and future obligations. The directors monitor this by using a financial model which enables a look forward over the entire life of the project, and not just the next twelve months.”
Significant events
- “Israel-Palestine conflict: To date there has been no impact on the Company following the conflict. Due to the mechanics of the contracts, the Company is not at risk of rising costs such as utilities and changes in inflation.”
- “The directors declared and paid a dividend of £893,225 in respect of the year (2023: £498,736).”
- “The main rate of UK corporation tax for the period was 25%. The Finance Act 2021 enacted on 10 June 2021 increased the main rate of UK corporation tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective from 1 April 2023.”

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
