| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
The directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In making this assessment, the directors have considered the Company's financial position, cash flow forecasts and financing arrangements.
The Company's secured borrowing with Together Commercial Finance reached the end of its term and, after the reporting date, fell into arrears; the lender issued a demand for repayment and appointed fixed-charge receivers over the secured property in June 2026, and the arrears claimed are in dispute. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is progressing a refinancing of its existing secured borrowing in order to redeem this facility. The directors also note that the Company has substantial equity in its investment property, with a carrying value of approximately £5.2 million compared with secured borrowings of approximately £0.99 million, providing significant financial headroom such that the borrowing can be refinanced or repaid from the property. The Company also has a balance due to the director of approximately £287,000; the director has confirmed that repayment will not be sought unless the Company has sufficient funds to do so, thereby providing additional financial support to the Company.
Having considered these matters, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and that the going concern basis remains appropriate. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that would result if the going concern basis were not appropriate. |
