- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern. In forming their assessment of the Company's going concern position, the Directors have considered the current economic and political environment. The Directors note that the Company is trading profitably and maintains a strong cash position and has not experienced any material adverse impact on demand, customer retention or cash generation as a result of the current geopolitical developments. Although the balance sheet reflects net liabilities, the company is part of a wider Group that provides ongoing financial support. Based on these factors, and after considering the Group's commitments and financial forecast for the coming year through to the end of March 2027, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
