“The directors have prepared a full financial forecast for the next three years to assess the company's likely performance over that period. Amongst other things, the forecasts incorporate expected revenue streams, related overhead expenses and capital additions and disposals. Future revenue streams have been based upon historic data flexed for known increases in the contract terms. Forecast overhead expenses also been based upon historic data and linked to the level of turnover within the business. The ratio of operating expenses to turnover has been consistent in previous years. The level of disposals and additions of fixed assets again has been forecast in line with previous experience, using the last auction which took place in September 2025 as a base line. The level of additions and disposals has been flexed to determine the effect on the overall cash flow and shows that the company still generates significant cash flow with a reduction in the level of disposals and additions in excess of 25%. The forecasts do not include any element of re-financing. However, the company is in negotiations with two different parties over asset financing and customer financing. The directors are confident that these negotiations will prove to be successful. On the basis of the assumptions above, together with the three year forecasts, the directors are confident that the business is a going concern.”
