“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. At 31 December 2024, the Company had cash of £243k. The Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for the Company for the period to July 2026. The assumptions used are based around budget expectations for 2025 and 2026 factoring in sensitivity analysis for any shortfall of these expectations. This indicates a positive cashflow situation over the forecast period under the sensitivity scenarios. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
