The Board recognises a reasonably plausible scenario where the Group's banking facility covenants may be breached should pipeline enquiries not convert to sales or market conditions deteriorate further, indicating a material uncertainty related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
