“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “The building was disposed of on 17 November 2025 for proceeds of £1,450k. At the date of disposal, the net book value of the asset was £501k, resulting in a significant gain on disposal. This has been classed as Other Income as the Disposal of a Building is a deemed one of by nature and does not form part of the usual trade.”
