- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which they consider appropriate for the following reasons. At the balance sheet date, the company was in a net asset position of £7,223,315 (2023: £5,540,836) (including cash at bank and in hand of £8,627,507 (2023: £22,318,599) providing support services to the execution of several facility management projects for UK MOD and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities 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.”
