- Affirmed
“Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Civils department has experienced significant expansion, with turnover increasing from an 18-month average of £555,000 per month to current 2025 levels of approximately £1 million per month. While this growth has necessitated higher working capital primarily due to increased payroll obligations, the company continues to manage this through its existing £300,000 overdraft facility without the use of invoice factoring.”
- “Following the change of the company's financial year-end from December to June, the reporting period reflects a transitional phase in cash flow management. This led to certain accelerated supplier payments at year-end. Furthermore, the June 2025 cash position was temporarily impacted by a timing mismatch, where significant receipts originally forecasted for late June were ultimately settled in early July 2025.”
- “The company expects a significant improvement in free cash flow starting in June 2026, as several historical asset finance agreements reach maturity. This will reduce the company's fixed monthly liabilities by approximately £75,000 per month. The resulting increase in retained cash will be used to further support the rapid growth of the Civils department and reduce reliance on short-term credit facilities.”
