“The board has examined its strategy and considered its profit and loss and cash flow projections for the accounting periods to 28 February 2028. It has evaluated the hire purchase, loan and overdraft facilities available to the group in connection with the periods examined. After due enquiry and the modelling of downside scenarios, the board has judged the cash flow forecasts, asset financing and banking resources of the group to be adequate to support its continued operations for the foreseeable future and has adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In January 2024, the company (then Rotala Plc) was acquired by Rotala Group Limited and ceased to be traded on the AIM market. The company became a private company at the same time. Since that date the company's business has continued largely unchanged, except for the addition of a portfolio of freehold residential properties for letting purposes. Prior to its acquisition of Rotala Limited, Rotala Group Limited had acquired Monetgrange Limited from Robert Dunn and other family members. The company added to this portfolio in December 2024 by acquiring, also from Robert Dunn and other family members, Motorbus Limited and MP & C Investments Limited. Finally the company at the same time acquired from third parties a number of residential properties for rental in the Lichfield area.”
