Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have robustly tested the going concern assumption in preparing the financial statements ensuring that the Company can continue to pay its liabilities as they fall due through a forecasted period of 12 months from the date of this report ("the going concern assessment period"). This included reviewing the Company's cash position, net current asset position and obligations under debt arrangements with other Sage Group companies. The Company made a profit for the year ended 30 September 2024 of £7,270,000 and at 30 September 2024 had net current liabilities of £25,889,000 including cash and cash equivalents of £432,000. Based on the above and having closely reviewed the current performance and forecasts, the Directors remain satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operations for a period of 12 months from the date of this report. However, given the high level of uncertainty a letter of support from the Company's ultimate parent, The Sage Group plc, has been provided for a period of 12 months from the date of this report, to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as and when they become due, as a means to provide the Directors with further confidence that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.
