Material uncertainty over going concern
At the balance sheet date, the company had net current liabilities amounting to £4,304,121 (2024: £2,393,613). The Governors have considered the appropriateness of preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis. ... Whilst the Governors acknowledge that the inclusion of these assumptions represent a material uncertainty, they have an expectation that they will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
