- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed the company's projected profits and cashflows. Having examined the current status of the principal contracts and likely developments in the foreseeable future, the directors consider that the company will be able to settle its liabilities as they fall due and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company suffered unauthorised withholdings from the monthly unitary charge payable by JFS School since October 2021. The Company sought to resolve the underlying historic dispute with JFS School directly, but was unsuccessful and as a result on 9th October 2024, the Company served a dispute notice on JFS School to seek an expert determination that the School is not contractually entitled to make withholdings. from the monthly Unitary Charge. On 24 January 2025 the expert appointed as a result of KSSL's claim ruled in KSSL's favour stating that JFS School is not permitted to withhold sums from KSSL's invoices and was ordered to repay the sums owed. Payment of the withheld amount was received on 7 February 2025. On 26 November 2024, the Company received a dispute notice from JFS School in respect of the underlying claim regarding the withholdings it has made seeking all security costs charged to be refunded plus interest. On 21 May 2025 the expert appointed as a result of JFS School's claim ruled in KSSL's favour stating JFS School's claim fails and no payment was due to JFS School. There is no longer a heightened risk of an event of default under the Facility agreement.”

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
