Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that it is reasonable to assume that the Company will continue in operational existence for at least for the year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events

• “On 25 November 2025, preference shares in Reading Industries Limited of £28,125,000 were transferred to Bronte Industries Limited. These were then subsequently converted to ordinary shares and cancelled.”

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
