- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has considered its forecast cash flows for the foreseeable future, including a plausible downside, and concluded that the company has the ability to operate independently with its own cash resources without needing to access available group funding. As a result, the directors consider the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Contingent liabilities exist in respect of guarantee bonds and indemnities issued on behalf of the company by the bank in the ordinary course of business. As at 31st December 2025 these amounted to £43,394 and € 869,630 (2024: £38,783 and €1,032,151). The possibility of outflow in settlement is classed as remote.”
