- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of these financial statements. The forecasts consider the directors' views of current and future economic conditions that are expected to prevail over the period. These forecasts indicate the Company is able meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company has significant net cash reserves of £4.3m at 31 December 2025 and taking into account severe but plausible downside scenarios before any mitigating actions, where applicable, the Company is still able to operate with significant positive cash levels throughout the period for at least the next 12 months. Accordingly, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
