“At 31 December 2025, the Company had cash at hand of £1,509,300, net current assets of £11,490,636 and net assets of £13,605,176. In addition, it generated a profit before tax for the financial year of £2,150,377. The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash flows generated by operations and supplemented if required by being a subsidiary undertaking of the wider Authentix Inc Group. Authentix Inc has also given its written formal confirmation of continued financial support to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months. The Directors have a reasonable expectation regarding the ability of the Company to support itself over the going concern period, having considered current liquidity and forecasted profitability. In undertaking the review the Directors have prepared financial statement projections for the next 12 months. As such the Directors conclude that the existing cash balances and facilities are sufficient to meet all liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months; including relevant sensitivities from the date of approval of the financial statements; and therefore, it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
