In the accounts to 2025-03-31, audited by UHY Ross Brooke, the auditor reported a material uncertainty about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern: “The company incurred net losses of £2,769,984 during the year ended 31 March 2025. As of that date, the company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £750,877 and the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by £5,730,144. Despite losses in FY25 and FY24, FY26 is forecast to be much improved with trading results improving alongside the potential upside effect of an insurance claim yet to be realised.”. This is a disclosure auditing standards require when such an uncertainty exists. It is a statement about the accounts, not a prediction that the company will fail, and many companies trade on normally after one. Filed at Companies House; reproduced as filed.
