“The directors have a reasonable expectation, consistent with their forecasting procedures and the repayments due on the various loans within the group, that the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. At year end the group had more than £13m of cash and treasury deposits, which is more than adequate for the FY25 development plans. Most of the debt is shareholder debt and is not repayable until September 2031. The directors have also considered the uncertainly of the current ongoing macroeconomic environment e.g. rising costs and are satisfied that the robust nature of the business model including long term contracts minimises any risk. The group trades solely in the UK with some supply chain items being sourced from the EU, therefore the recent US trade tariffs increases are expected to have limited effects.”
