- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £13,663,000 as at 31 December 2024 the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts in order to assess going concern which indicates that, taking account of reasonable possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern assessment period. Those forecasts are dependent on the company's ultimate parent company, Nelson & Russell Holdings Limited not seeking repayment of the amounts current due to the group. Nelson & Russell Holdings Limited has indicated that it does not intend to seek repayment of these amounts during the going concern assessment period. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
