- 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
- “Turnover has decreased by 42.7% to £11.4m in the year ended 31 October 2025 relative to a turnover of £19.8m achieved in the year ended 31 October 2024. This is due to timing on contracts, with high value contracts ending within the year being replaced by contracts of smaller value. The company has generated profit before tax of £2.0m compared to £4.4m in 2024.”
