Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company has net assets of £85.2m as at 31 March 2025, having made a profit after tax for the year of £2.9m and has a cash balance of £84.5m as at 31 March 2025. The Company has available a £50m revolving credit facility with an external lender which is up for renewal by 31 March 2026. This is a revolving credit facility which the Company is able to draw down during the period and can apply for a 12-month extension on expiry of the current agreement. This facility has been renewed by the bank historically and management have no reason not to expect it to be renewed in the future. The Directors prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2026 to support their assessment of a 12 month look forward period, which indicate that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due.”

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
