Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the Company's projected future cash flows and working capital requirements for a period of at least 12 months from signing of these financial statements. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had net current assets of £39.6m (2023: £41.2m) and net assets of £80.4 million (2023: £80.2 million). The Company held cash of £18.2 million (2023: £8.7 million). The profit for the year was £0.8 million (2023: £1.5 million). The directors have received confirmation that the shareholders will continue to support the Company for at least the 12 months from signing of these financial statements. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the shareholders' going concern assessment confirms that there is sufficient forecast committed liquidity headroom for the shareholders to provide this support and the Company will therefore have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
