- Affirmed
“The group made a profit after tax for the year of £1,647,000 (2024: £674,000) and the balance sheet net assets remain strong at £6,840,000 (2024: £5,334,000). The group has net current liabilities of £1,000,000 (2024: £2,821,000). Cost efficiency and continuous improvement actions continue to be part of the business culture as we ensure that we continue to be fit for purpose in the current market and economic environment. The investment in the Corps Monitoring has increased the range and quality of services and will continue to improve the growth rate of this higher margin part of the business. In April 2024, the Company agreed a three year extension to its Invoice Discounting arrangement with Leumi UK Group Ltd to run to a minimum period to September 2027. This structure continues to be the Company's only debt facility to meet its working capital requirements and provides an effective and flexible approach to meet future business needs. The directors have produced forecasts which reflect the impact of the above circumstances. They indicate that the group will have sufficient cash resources for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. On this basis, the directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
