Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the parent company's going concern assumption is dependent on its revolving credit facility being renewed or refinanced within the next 12 month period, as disclosed in their financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2024. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists 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
