“The directors have assessed the Company's balance sheet position at the year end and its expected trading result for the current year. They are confident, with ongoing support from the rest of the group that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Group has undertaken a comprehensive review of its operations to ensure that the going concern assumption is valid and that there are no material uncertainties. This involved cash flow forecasts through April 2026.”
Significant events
- “On 3 August 2018, the Company registered fixed and floating charges over all the property and undertaking held by the Company, in favour of Svenska Handelsbanken.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
