- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year the freehold property held by the company was sold to a related pension scheme. The funds were used to repay borrowings and increase working capital.”
- “the company's defined benefit pension scheme changed from an asset (net of deferred tax) of £772,000, to an asset of £2,386,000”
- “This year there has been a large increase in the future lease commitments due to the signing of a lease for the property owned by the company's pension scheme.”
- “As 30 November 2024, loans amounting to £4,476,971 have been repaid in full, this amount includes a mortgage of £2,280,732, a cash flow facility loan of £447,222 and a pension fund loan of £1,749,017.”
