- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Directors considered cash flow forecasts, covenant compliance, and available finance. The Group is trading in line with its revised base case model and forecasts to maintain adequate liquidity and remain compliant with covenants. A key judgement is the refinancing of the Group's bank facility due in Sep 2025, with positive discussions ongoing with HSBC and alternative funding options explored.”
Significant events
- “During the period the Company has been competing with factors that have been affecting the industry as a whole. Whilst sales have grown by £3.1m in the period the operating loss has increased by £305k. This is driven by the increased cost pressures from external factors such as the war in Ukraine. In the period there were also £222K of exceptional costs relating to prior year adjustments.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
