- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have carried out a going concern assessment using forecasts across a period to the end of 2026. These forecasts include both a base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario. Across the forecast period, the Company is forecast in both scenarios to be profitable and cash generative in aggregate. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months following the date of approval of the financial statements and that the Company is well placed to manage business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The Company has a strong balance sheet and is not reliant on long term bank borrowings. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 1st July 2023, the trade and assets of the traffic management division of the company was transferred to Class One Traffic Management Ltd., a fellow subsidiary of Ramudden Global (UK) Limited as a going concern at book value.”
