“The director has received a letter of support to confirm the provision of adequate financial resources to the Company for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of the Company's statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 October 2024. As such, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The main financial indicator is sales and as these have been minimal the director and creditors have agreed to support the Company until sales increase. There will be no further investment in company until sales increase.”
- “The director has been in contact with potential customers and is hopeful that this will generate sales in 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
