Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company and the wider group have the strong support of the Private Equity Fund which has invested in its strategy. On an ongoing basis, the directors prepare and update forecasts and monitor the cash position regularly. The directors are satisfied that, having reviewed the budgets and forecasts, ongoing shareholder and group companies support and available facilities, the Company can meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The directors are therefore of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare these statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “On 20 December 2024, Atomic Topco Limited and all group companies commenced a Group Structure Simplification process designed to simplify the corporate structure of the group and eliminate companies which no longer served any useful purpose.”
• “When preparing the financial statements to 31 December 2024 the Directors considered the Deeds of Waiver and the release of amounts due to and by the Company in January 2025 per 1, 2, 3 and 6 above. After due consideration, the Directors agreed that, given the circumstances, it was inappropriate that these amounts should be considered as receivable/payable as at 31 December 2024 and that these amounts totalling £3,236,649 should be dealt with in the 2024 Income Statement as an Exceptional Profit.”

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
