“Whilst the Report of the directors and Financial Statements are focused on the financial results from 2025, the company's directors are mindful of the impacts of the macroeconomic conditions on the short to medium term resilience of the company. Due to the uncertainty caused by the macroeconomic landscape, the directors have looked at the resilience of the company to stay in business over the next 12 months. Three key measures have been looked at to determine if that position is reasonable, namely, income, expenditure, and cash flow. Based on a forecast of the likely activity in each of these areas the directors are satisfied that this position remains appropriate.”
