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

- Affirmed
“The Directors' assessment of the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern considered the committed funding from the shareholders alongside the base and downside cash flow forecasts. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of approval of the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The principal activity of the Company is the development, construction and operating of a battery storage facility in Basildon, Essex.”
- “The project is currently in the construction phase.”
- “The Company entered into a 30 year land lease on 17 November 2023. The total cash outflow for leases in the period was £42k (2024: £16k).”
- “The battery storage asset remained under construction at 31 March 2025. The asset is expected to be fully operational from 10 July 2025.”
