- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the future activities of the company for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period to 31 December 2027. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “After the reporting date the directors proposed a final dividend of £3.25m in total. This dividend has not been recognised as a liability in the financial statements as it was not declared at the reporting date.”
