- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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
- “On 3rd September 2025, Statom Group completed the acquisition of Franki Foundations.”
- “On the same date, the Company's bank loans outstanding were repaid in full.”
- “Immediately prior to the sale, the outgoing immediate parent company, Franki Foundations Belgium s.a, performed a debt to equity swap which removed £7,150,000 of liabilities and resulted in the issuance of a further 7,150,000 £1 ordinary shares.”
- “This, along with historic debt waivers provided by Franki Foundations Belgium s.a, meant that £15,703,444 of debt outstanding at year end and included in note 20 was extinguished.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
