“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In July 2023, Roxor Group Limited moved its UK banking facilities (along with those of its subsidiary undertakings which include the Company) from an assets backed facility with HSBC Bank Plc (HSBC), to a more flexible facility with NatWest Bank Plc. The settlement fee of £37k included within exceptional items related to payments made in terminating the previous facility and all related charges have been satisfied during the year.”

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
