“The Directors have carried out an assessment of the Group forecasts for the remainder of 2025 and through to 31 May 2026. The forecasts include a base case scenario, which the Directors believe to be the most likely outcome, and several risk adjusted positions which assess programme delays, delayed turnover growth, delayed investment in land opportunities, and an increase in overheads. Across each of these scenarios the Group continues to forecast and maintain a strong cash balance with liquidity not reaching or falling below a Group defined minimum liquidity level of £15.0m.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
