“As of 31 December 2024, the Company had net current assets of £3,009,035 (2023: net current liabilities of £2,763,209). Further, in prior years, the Company had executed a debenture, granted a fixed charge over.its bank accounts and accounts receivable, and floating charge over all present and future assets to certain banks (hereafter the "syndicated banks") as part of the APCOA Parking Holdings GmbH banking arrangements.In the year 2024, the business has continued to generate a positive result at net profit level. Management has tracked performance to 31 March 2025 and prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for a period from 1 April 2025 to 31 August 2026 to consider the impact on going concern.The results for the first three months of 2025 (based on actual results to 31 March 2025) was a solid performance for the Company. All key indicators such as financial trading, cashflow, retentions and new business were positive. The Company had significant new business wins and retentions in the year 2024.The base case scenario included in the cashflows to 31 August 2026 assume a quarterly graded growth pattern to accommodate for seasonality. These show that the Company will generate sufficient cash to service its liabilities on an ongoing basis. The base case assumes that the majority of the existing contracts will be retained and will continue to generate cashflows at current levels with some growth factored in. The model does not assume any payments to group entities as part of the debenture or charges granted to the syndicated banks.Management has performed sensitivity analysis on the cashflows and not identified a likely scenario which will lead to a lack of liquidity for the Company based on trading activities. The business has also been proactive on retentions and continues to maintain a retention rate in excess of 98.5% for 2024. Many retentions for 2025 have also been agreed. New business pipeline remains buoyant with significant opportunities in Local Government, Health and Airports.”

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.
