Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. This is due to SERS Energy Solutions Group Limited and SERS Energy Solutions (Scotland) Limited having been subject to an asset purchase by Cardo Group after the year end. The companies will continue to operate solely to complete non-novated contracts, all of which are expected to be finalised by the end of 2025. Following completion, the companies will remain active until the defect periods on all contracts have expired and client-held retentions are released, typically within 12 to 18 months of completion. After this period, the group and subsidiary companies will be wound down and cease trading.

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
