- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. In drawing their conclusion on the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have been mindful of the group having net liabilities of £5,889,699 (2023: £3,429,249) and net current liabilities of £12,975,926 (2023: £10,048,373). Within these, there is deferred income of £13,025,428 (2023: £14,064,478) which does not result to a cash outflow. In addition, there are loans from related parties of £11,143,691 which are due within 12 months from the date that these financial statements are approved, however, the directors have obtained a confirmation from the related parties that the repayments will not be requested until the company and group have sufficient funds to repay them.”
