“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Company has net current assets of £111,562 (2023 - £627,696) and net assets of £4,259,359 (2023 - £4,164,013). The Company's financial forecasts, taking into consideration the current environment, show that the Company is expected to remain profitable and generate positive cash flows giving the Company the ability to operate for the foreseeable future. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment, staying alert to the impact of any downturn on the trading position of the Company and our principal customers. Consequently, the Directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.”
