- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is party to a senior credit facility which contains customary banking covenants. In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements for the period ended 30 March 2025, the directors have taken into consideration detailed cashflow forecasts for both the banking group (comprising the Company and its subsidiary, RedCat Taverns Limited) and the wider RedCat Pub Company Limited group, covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. These cashflow forecasts have been prepared using the same assumptions. The Company has also considered potential mitigating actions that it could take if required, and also performed a reverse stress test in regard to covenant compliance. The forecasts show covenant compliance even in the event of a significant and unlikely downturn. Based on the above, the Company is satisfied that there is no reasonably plausible scenario where the Company will be unable to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due.”

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
