- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In reviewing the going concern of the Company, the Directors have considered the financial plan for the next twelve months and the general forecast for the travel market. Consumer research continues to evidence strong demand for overseas travel, although FX cash demand is forecast to decline slightly and higher costs linked to inflation. The Company continues to show positive cash balances and net assets in the financial plan. The Directors are therefore satisfied that the Company is able to meet its obligations as they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.”
Significant events
- “The Company's trading performance for the financial year remained strong with the travel market continuing to recover. The performance was lower than the prior year due to consumer FX cash demand declining slightly and higher costs linked to inflation.”
- “There is instability in both the UK and overseas economic environments. Although the longer-term effects remain unknown, the Company has continued to perform strongly in 2024 despite inflationary pressure and currency fluctuations.”
- “These considerations include the potential impact on demand for foreign currency products and exposure to service providers in these areas.”
