Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the loss of a major contract with Southern Water post year end will have a significant impact on the Company. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
