- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of signing the accounts there is some degree of uncertainty regarding the full economic impact of the current geopolitical landscape. The directors have reviewed the working capital requirements of the business and anticipated cash flows until 30 September 2027. On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements.”
