Material uncertainty over going concern
The Group incurred an operating loss of £2.6 million; and generated cash flow from operations of £2.1 million for the year ended 31 May 2025, with a closing cash balance of £2.0 million. However, In the event of some of the cash flow forecast downside scenarios crystallising, the Company could be at risk of breaching its financial loan covenants if an accommodation with Bank of Scotland could not be reached. The ability to execute and realise revenues from ongoing long-term contracts or secure new contracts is uncertain. If key revenue generating project milestones are delayed then without amendment to the financial covenants the outstanding loan would become immediately repayable which would give rise to a material uncertainty, as defined in auditing and accounting standards, related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and in such circumstances it may therefore be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
