“The company has net liabilities of £1,560,808 as at 31 December 2024. Included within long-term liabilities is an amount of £11,734,833 owed to the parent company which, although technically payable upon demand, has no scheduled repayment date. The directors have received confirmation from the parent company that the intercompany debt will not be called for settlement before all third party creditors have been satisfied. Based on the above, the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.”
