“The directors have considered the financial performance and position of the company, including both profit after taxation of £4,656,235 and net assets of £14,008,538 and confirm that the company is continuing to trade well in the current climate and see no reason why it should not continue to do so in the foreseeable future. The forecasts prepared up to 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements show a return to strong profitability. Taking all these matters into account and notwithstanding the uncertainties of a challenging economic environment the directors consider it appropriate to prepare and approve these financial statements on the going concern basis.”
