Going concern

Affirmed

“The group is profitable and generates positive net cash flows from operating activities. The group's working capital requirements are met from its operating cash flow and bank deposits (31 December 2024 £1.7m). The group does not have any external financing or bank overdrafts, nor does it need to adhere to any financial covenants. In considering the forecasts the Directors have looked at the likely trading and cash requirements of the group through to 31 December 2026. The Directors have reverse stress tested the forecasts concentrating on events which could cause the group's bank reserves to be fully eroded and have concluded that the possibility of such events arising in the forecast period are remote. Though the group does expect to make cash transfers to a related entity registered in the USA throughout the forecast period, there is no contractual agreement or formal terms tied to those cash movements. Any cash transfer is made only after evaluation of necessary amounts to fund operations and maintain minimum reserves within the group. Cash flow forecasting is done weekly to ensure that cash reserves are adequate to service existing working capital commitments prior to any transfers to the USA are made. Having considered both these forecasts and the wider potential impacts on all aspects of the group's operations, employees and other stakeholders, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue to trade for the foreseeable future.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
