- Affirmed
“The Directors have undertaken an assessment by reviewing a cash flow forecast extending to a period no less than 12 months from the date of the financial statements, including consideration of downsides, noting that the Company was in a net current liability position as of 28 September 2024. Whilst they expect to be able to meet the day to day cashflow needs of the Company, they have received assurances of continued financial support from a fellow Group undertaking, in the form of a letter of support, to allow the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due without significant curtailment of operations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements being signed. On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position, its resources and support from fellow group company, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks. Therefore, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
