- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's going concern is dependent on the Company's ultimate parent undertaking. The ultimate parent undertaking, FIH group plc has provided the Company with an undertaking that it will continue to support the Company for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “At 31 March 2025, FIH group plc, had an £11.0 million (2024: £11.6 million) ten-year bank loan outstanding, which had been drawn down on 28 June 2019, with interest charged at the compounded daily SONIA rate plus 1.8693%. Under the terms of the cross guarantee with HSBC, the Group's bank, this loan has been secured against the assets of FIH group plc and all its subsidiaries.”

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
