- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors, after making necessary enquiries, are of the opinion that the Company will have adequate working capital to execute its operations for a period of at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements. In reaching this conclusion, the Directors gave due consideration to the impact of significant inflationary factors in the supply chain and labour markets and the pressure this has had on profitability. The Directors are confident that pricing increases, focused supply chain management, and operational efficiencies will maintain the Group's profitable position. This conclusion is further supported by the availability of a working capital facility of £41.2m, of which £1.3m remains undrawn at the date of this report. As a result, the annual financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors' assessment is based on budgets for the next 3 years, including cash flow forecasts and consideration of the sales pipeline.”
