Going concern

Affirmed

“As part of the going concern process Management prepared forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report, which included a scenarios analysis and a reverse stress test. When considering the net assets position of the Company, the amount of liquid cash maintained in the entity, and availability of resources for the Company as provided by the Group of Companies, the Directors do not foresee any material uncertainty in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and hence the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “In April 2025 AQSE made a loan of £1,250k to the Parent, Aquis Exchange PLC. The loan is recoverable on demand and is interest bearing on an arm's length basis. The provision of the loan did not reduce AQSE's liquid asset balances below regulatory minima. The Directors continue to monitor regulatory thresholds to ensure cash in all Group entities is sufficiently above the regulated floor.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
