“The company is continuing to trade comfortably within its current banking facility, post year end the repayment date was extended until July 2031. The company meets day to day working capital needs through internal cash management. In the current year, as part of management's consideration of going concern, the Board have sensitised its forecasts and projections to July 2027, taking into account possible changes in trading circumstances to determine when and to what extent additional measures may be necessary to protect the business and are confident in our ability to meet all obligations. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis and no material uncertainties have been identified.”
