- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on their review the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This expectation is arrived at following consideration of the future development, performance, cash flows and financial position along with the current and forecast liquidity. The directors monitor the cash position of the Group regularly, taking account of the current trading, they consider that the assumptions made are appropriate and are satisfied that the Group and Company is a going concern.”

As at 31 December 2024, the Group had an operating lease commitment of £1,073,865, which will be impacted by the surrender of the existing lease, as the lease obligations will cease upon the effective date of the surrender. In addition, the rent deposit of £322,160 associated with the existing lease, currently disclosed as a non-current asset, will be repaid within 12 months following the signing of the agreement.”

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
