- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “As at 31 December 2025, the company had a strong balance sheet, with net assets of £10M. The company had no material external borrowings and finance costs were minimal at £2k. Cash increased during the year, and current assets significantly exceeded current liabilities.”
- “Closing cash and cash equivalents increased by £870k in 2025, this provides significant liquidity headroom to meet liabilities as they fall due.”
- “There are no significant events occurring after the statement of financial position date, up to the date of approval of the financial statements that would meet the criteria to be disclosed or adjusted in the financial statements as at 31 December 2025.”
