- Affirmed
“Having reviewed IBA's financial forecasts and expected future cash flows up to the year ending 30 June 2027, and considering the additional financial resources and backing provided by the new shareholder, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.”
Significant events

These facilities comprise: A £25 million 6-year bullet term loan facility (gross of arrangement fees), which was drawn on completion of the transaction; and A £15 million 6-year term acquisition facility, for future drawdown.”
