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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's 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 Group's or the parent 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.”
Group structure

- Karl Watson Contracting Limited 100%
Significant events
- “These declines have been due to two groups that were significant customers entering administration in the previous year, therefore the current year is the first year without turnover from these two groups.”
- “During the previous year a provision was made against specific customer debts totaling £3,375,302 which generated an operating loss of £2,686,119. In the current year, the provision has remained, however no change to the provision has been deemed necessary, as such an operating profit of £414,715 has been generated.”
- “As at 31 May 2024 a provision for £4.39 million (2023 - £4.39 million) has been recognised in relation to debts from customers which entered administration on 20 May 2023.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
