“The Directors have prepared forecasts to 31 July 2027, which take into consideration the current economic conditions and global events. The Directors have considered the Company's current and future prospects, its availability of financing, and are satisfied that the Company can continue to pay its liabilities as they fall due for a period until 31 July 2027. The Company have entered into agreements with other UK Group companies to commence the use of pooled bank accounts held by the Company's immediate parent Customs Support Group UK Limited. As a result of the new cash pooling arrangement put in place, the Directors have obtained a letter of support from their immediate parent, Customs Support Group UK Limited confirmed that they are able and willing to provide support to the company for a period to 31 July 2027. The Directors have performed the relevant inquires and have satisfied themselves that the immediate parent company is in a position to provide this support as required for the period to 31 July 2027, which takes into consideration any potential uncertainties particularly around the costs of inflation, and its impact on revenue growth, together with the current economic outlook. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
