- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's and group's forecasts show it will operate with headroom for the period of 12 months from approval of these financial statements. The directors are satisfied that they could manage a reasonable level of unforeseen change to the business' performance and therefore can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have therefore concluded that there are no material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and Group to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The Group completed a legal restructure on the 27th August 2023. The entity that was Lancer Scott Ltd became Lancer Scott Facilities Management Ltd. Three new companies came into existence as trading entities, Lancer Scott Holdings Ltd, Lancer Scott Construction Ltd and Lancer Scott Construction West Ltd. This is the first year of running as an individual entity within the Lancer Scott group, the trading period was for 13 months with a dormant month in August 2023.”
