- Affirmed
“At 31 December 2025 the company had net assets of £57,170,835 and net current assets of £48,874,236 which includes cash and cash equivalent of £43,377. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the twelve months after the date of the signing of these financial statements ("the forecast") that shows that the company will be able to meet their financial commitments and liabilities as they fall due. In addition to this base case scenario the directors have also performed a reverse stress test of the forecasts which indicated that revenue will need to decline by 34% for the company to extinguish its liquid funds. Based on current and previous performance the directors consider this fall in revenue to be highly unlikely and would take appropriate mitigating actions if this were to occur to further protect the company's financial position. As such the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to operate within its available resources and there will be sufficient funds to enable the company to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
