- Affirmed
“At the end of December 2023, the company held net assets of £4,151,749, with the profitability of the 2024 result adding to this. The directors consider this sufficient to meet the upcoming needs of the company and these accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as a result. Budgets and cash flow forecasts have been prepared for a period of 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. These include different scenarios being modelled including reverse stress testing. These show that the company and the wider group have the ability to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The group remains cash positive and has significant headroom within its current banking facilities and the directors are satisfied that sufficient resources are available to the company should they be required. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
