- 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.”
Significant events
- “The bank has provided a guarantee in respect to HM Revenue & Customs of £10,000 (2024 - £10,000).”
- “The company has provided security by way of a fixed and floating charge over the company's fixtures and fittings and plant and machinery held at Aire Valley House, and over all the other property, assets and rights not subject to the fixed charge to secure the bank borrowings of a fellow subsidiary. At 31 December 2025 these borrowings amounted to £2,929,055 (2024 - £4,516,832).”
