Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2024.
Review of the Business
The UK residential solar retrofit market remained subdued during the year compared with the elevated demand seen during 2022–23. Despite this, Evergen continues to be one of the UK's largest providers, installing several thousand systems per annum. The market remains highly fragmented, with numerous small and regional providers. This fragmentation presents a clear opportunity for Evergen to continue consolidating market share through scale, quality of service, and brand recognition.
Affordability continues to be a key barrier to customer adoption of solar and battery technologies. In response, the Company expanded its financing options during FY25, introducing longer loan terms and reduced borrowing costs to enhance accessibility and support customer uptake.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Board has undertaken a robust assessment of the principal risks that could impact Evergen’s business model, financial performance, solvency, or liquidity. Risk management is embedded in day-to-day operations. Given the size of the Board, a separate risk committee has not been established; however, this will be kept under review as the business grows.
1. Reduction in Consumer Demand
Risk Level: Moderate
Description: Macroeconomic strains may reduce household discretionary spending, limiting uptake of solar and battery installations. Impact: Reduced sales volumes and profitability.
Mitigation:
  • Expansion into new geographic regions and commercial markets.
  • Broadened product offerings, including heat pumps and energy efficiency solutions.
  • Enhanced customer financing options to improve affordability.
  • Increased digital marketing efficiency to maximise lead conversion.
2. Removal of Government Incentives
Risk Level: Low Description: Political change could lead to the withdrawal of favourable VAT rates or other incentives for energy-efficient technologies.
Impact: Increased consumer costs, reduced return on investment, lower demand.
Mitigation:
  • Repositioning the sales proposition to focus on long-term energy independence and reduced utility costs.
  • Participation in industry bodies to support policy engagement and early visibility of legislative changes.
  • Diversification into other renewable technologies to reduce dependence on any single incentive.
3. Breach of Regulatory Requirements
Risk Level: Low Description: Non-compliance with MCS, electrical standards, or consumer protection rules could lead to disruption.
Impact: Operational interruption, rework costs, reputational damage.
Mitigation:
  • Strengthened internal quality assurance processes and audit cycles.
  • Ongoing installer training and compliance checks.
  • Post-installation customer service follow-up procedures.
4. Increased Cost of Materials
Risk Level: Moderate
Description: Global changes in PV module, inverter, and battery prices could impact profitability.
Impact: Margin pressure, need for price increases.
Mitigation:
  • Supplier diversification and negotiation of longer-term supply agreements.
  • Close monitoring of global PV and battery markets.
  • Dynamic pricing models to adjust customer pricing where appropriate.
  • Internal cost optimisation initiatives to offset supplier increases.

Future Developments
In 2025, the Company will expand into additional geographic regions in the UK to support growth and diversification. Furthermore, the Company intends to explore expansion into the air-source heat pump market, complementing its existing renewable energy offering and enabling customers to access a broader suite of low-carbon technologies.
Investments will continue in operational efficiency, workforce development, customer financing products, and digital lead-generation infrastructure to support sustainable long-term growth.
Turnover and Profitability
Turnover for FY24 declined due to broader macroeconomic pressures impacting consumer spending and home improvement investment. However, trading in FY25 has shown a marked recovery, with turnover for the year ending November 2025 expected to exceed £20 million, returning the business to pre-slowdown levels.
The statutory EBITDA for FY24 was £(494,092) (2023: £(496,516)), reflecting the softer trading environment early in the year.
Performance has strengthened significantly in the current financial year. As at 31 October 2025 (based on  11 months unaudited management accounts), Evergen achieved an EBITDA of £397,308, demonstrating a material turnaround in operational profitability driven by improved volume, tighter cost control, and enhanced financing offerings.
Statement of Engagement with Suppliers, Customers and Others in a Business Relationship with the Company
The Company evaluates suppliers on quality, delivery performance, terms of payment, and price. Payments are made within agreed terms where suppliers have fulfilled their obligations. The Company aims to resolve any disputes promptly and maintain strong supplier relationships.
Going Concern Statement
The Board has conducted a comprehensive review of the Company’s cash flow forecasts, revenue projections, and liquidity position for at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. This includes multiple downside scenarios reflecting ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
Based on this assessment, and after making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have concluded there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved: 
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and

Liability Limitation Agreement with Auditor
In accordance with Section 534 of the Companies Act 2006, the company has entered into a liability limitation agreement with its external auditor, Sterling Young Ltd. 
The principal term of the Agreement: The auditor's liability for statutory audit work is limited to three times the audit fee), in respect of any claim arising from or in connection with the audit work.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of EVERGEN SYSTEMS LTD. for the year ended 30 November 2024 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes of Equity, Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 November 2024 and of its profit/(loss) for the year then ended;
  • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
  • the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 7
Page 8
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
  • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5—6, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the company and the sector in which it operates to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management, industry research, application of cumulative audit knowledge and experience of the sector.
As part of our audit planning, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the company. We gained an understanding of the company and the industry in which the company operates as part of this assessment to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the company. The key regulations we identified were Anti Money Laundering Regulations, The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and Financial Conduct Authority Regulations. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements and relevant tax legislation.
We discussed with management how the compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and obtained copies of the key policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the company complies with laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the company's ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts.
We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-compliance by the company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not limited to:
           - Making enquiries of management;
           - Reviewing of regulatory correspondence;
           - Review of current year and post year end journals  
We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the potential for management bias was identified in relation to the impairment of related party balances. We addressed this risk by challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management when auditing these significant accounting estimates.
As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included but were not limited to the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
Because of the Inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding Irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.
Other matters
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30th November 2023 were not audited, and accordingly, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the opening balances as at 30th November 2024. Our opinion on the current period’s financial statements is therefore not modified in respect of this matter.
Use Of Our Report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters that we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
EVERGEN SYSTEMS LTD. is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 07622119 . The registered office is Unit 1-4, Bell Street,, Maidenhead, England, SL6 1BR.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest f.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates in determining the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Management makes assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The management's estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed periodically.
The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are assessed periodically. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates and the physical condition of the assets.
There is estimation uncertainty in calculating provisions, including bad debt and remedial provisions. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the provisions are as accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the provisions do not match the level of debts which ultimately prove to be uncollectable/payable.
There is also estimation uncertainty in calculating deferred tax liability due to temporary timing differences. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
2.4. Turnover
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Revenue is recognised on installation of the goods.
Other income
Other income may include miscellaneous receipts such as interest income, insurance recoveries, or other non-trading income, which are recognised in the period to which they relate.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Motor Vehicles 20% on cost
Office Equipment 50% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
Page 16
Page 17
2.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
2.8. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank which are an integral part of the company's cash management.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
2.9. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.10. Taxation
Taxation
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The company is a beneficiary of Research & Development (R&D) tax relief from the UK Government in the form of reductions in its annual tax liability, as well as repayable tax credits. Current tax assets or reductions in current tax liabilities for R&D claims are only recognised when the amount can be reliably determined and the probability of HM Revenue & Customs accepting the claim is considered high.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
2.11. Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions (i.e. liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

2.12. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
