Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company incurred a profit before tax of £78K (2023: loss £357K) during the year, a net current liability of £4.02M (2023: £4.36M) and net liabilities of £3.69M (2023: £3.76M) as at balance sheet date comprising principally of an amount owed to its fellow company. The Company is therefore dependent on its ultimate parent's support. Although we consider that the statements that are made in note 2 are fair, it is our opinion that the note should also state that these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “During the year ended 31 December 2024 the business has recovered and started making profit before tax of £78K (2023: loss before tax £357K). This has been largely contributed by the significant reduction in utility costs and whilst this is also reflected in turnover, overall margin has improved. The business has sustained revenues from external sources and continues to develop relationships, growing a robust and sustainable portfolio customer base.”
