Material uncertainty over going concern
Therefore, the Directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. As such, the Directors have prepared these financial statements on a basis other than going concern. No additional adjustments have been required to the financial statements as a result of them being prepared on a basis other than going concern.

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, on 7 March 2024, the Company was sold along with its sibling, CES Power International Limited and their parent, CES Power Holdings Limited, to CES Global Blocker LLC.”
- “Prior to the sale of CES Power Holdings Limited, the Group conducted a series of intercompany loan waivers to facilitate the sale. The result of this was that the Company had liabilities to fellow group companies of £18k waived and itself waived receivables from fellow group companies totalling £7,129k. The extinguished liabilities were accounted for as a capital contribution and recognised within reserves, whereas the waived receivables were accounted for as a deemed distribution against the Company's distributable reserves.”

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
