“The directors have carried out a going concern assessment using forecasts which incorporate market conditions for a period to the end of July 2026. The Company participates in the DHL Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and other group undertakings. The Company can draw on these arrangements for funds should the need to access a short term working capital facility arise. The forecasts describe above demonstrated that the company can continue to operate within the limit of the facilities available throughout the forecast period. A letter of support from Deutsche Post AG has been issued. The company has net current asset of £3,243,359 (2023: net current liability of £1,117,661), and has a net asset of £3,273,634 (2023: net liability of £1,075,777).”
