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

- 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
- “The company expanded its customer base by approximately 2,000 new supply point identifiers, leveraging a sales strategy focused on portfolio customers and high-volume consumers. This approach has strengthened our market presence and provided a solid foundation for growth in customer loyalty and consumption.”
- “The company will continue to strengthen its market position through the expansion of third-party intermediary partnerships, new direct sales channels, and participation in additional public sector tenders. The rollout of automated and smart metering technology, supported by increased meter reading frequency, will continue with the objective of improving billing accuracy and working capital management.”
- “The Company is also investing in water efficiency initiatives, as well as upgraded systems and software designed to enhance operational efficiency, customer experience, and future scalability.”
