“Based on their assessment of the Company's financial position and cash flow forecasts, notwithstanding the loss of £1,674k, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date the financial statements are approved. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Shareholders' funds decreased by £1,674k, due to the loss after tax in the year of £1,674k.”
- “The redundancy costs incurred during the current year end, as disclosed above, are a result of the restructuring exercise implemented by management whereby the Company shut one of its operational sites. This exercise has now completed.”
