- Affirmed
“On the basis of these forecasts, the directors expect the Group and Company to have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months following the date of signing of these financial statements. Covenants are forecast to be met in all scenarios. Consequently, the Directors reasonably believe that the Group and Company can continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, they have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the period end, the shareholders have provided loans of £11.5m to the Company to assist with working capital requirements. In addition, the Group renewed its banking facility for a further three years to December 2028.”
