Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared cash flow forecast up to 31 December 2026. Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements... 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.”

Significant events

• “In 2024, the Company has launched two new digital products: FP Sign and Trax. The initial sales activity of these products has been lower than anticipated, however the Company has seen significant developments in 2025, and have launched the products to a wider Dealer network for resale.”
• “In June 2025, the Company decided to reduce equity, with the intention of reducing intercompany balances with its Parent company. This was done in two stages. Firstly, Share Capital of £1,690,000 and Capital Contribution Reserves of £3,800,000 were converted to distributable reserves to the Parent Company. Secondly, £4,595,852 of these distributable reserves were used to offset receivables from the Parent Company by way of a dividend, reducing the overall intercompany balance at 30 June 2025 to £343,220 payable.”

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
