- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are required to consider the application of the going concern concept when signing financial statements. The principal element required to meet the test is sufficient liquidity for a period of twelve months subsequent to the date of signing the accounts, and the company forecasts it will have sufficient liquidity for a 12 month period for the period to June 2025. The directors have assessed the ability of the group to provide this support noting no concerns, and as a result continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
