- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company made a profit for the year of £2.8 million (2024: £1.7 million) and as at 31 December 2025 had net current assets of £40.4 million. The company has no internal or external debt and has access to a positive bank balance, which on 31 December 2025 was in excess of £18.7 million. The directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities, through the use of the group cash pooling facility shown within "amounts due from group undertakings" as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
