- 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
- “During the year the directors decided to close the Materials Recovery Facility at Luton and incurred the above costs making the staff redundant and writing down the carrying value the plant and equipment to £nil.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
