“As at the Statement of financial position date the company has net assets of £4,269k (2024: £4,543k) and net current assets of £3,560k (2024: £4,236k), incorporating no external borrowings. During the current financial year to date, results have been in line with the performance in the final months of the prior financial year. The directors have prepared forecasts and budgets for the period ending 30 June 2027 for the purpose of assessing going concern. In light of the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
