“The company is principally funded by cash deposited within its bank accounts. Included in the net assets at the year end were £858,000 (2023: £609,000) of cash at bank and no bank loan. Forecasting has been prepared on a rolling 12 month basis and takes into account the expected impacts of the above. The modelling and assumptions continue to forecast a profitable and cash generating position under these conditions. It is the view of the directors that, even in these uncertain times, sales volumes will not likely decline to such a degree that the company is no longer profitable or cash generating and in the event of a fall in sales, the company would implement cost saving measures including restricting travel to essential travel only and curtailing marketing expenditure. The company has prepared a cash flow forecast for the 12 month period from the date of signing the financial statements that does not identify any material uncertainties over forecast liquidity and adequacy of cash resources. As at 31 May 2025 the cash at bank is £2.6m. After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the net asset position and the ability to reduce activity levels and implement cost saving initiatives shows that the company can continue to meet its obligations for a period of 12 months from the date of this report. As a result, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing this annual report and financial statements.”
