  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The company recorded a loss for the year ended 31 December 2024 of £274k (2023: £279k) and ended the year with net current liabilities of £3.1m. As stated in note 1, a formal waiver has not been granted for a covenant within the group bank facility of which this entity is party too which is forecast to be breached within the next 12 months. These events or conditions, along with the 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. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. However, the circumstances outlined above in relation to the absence of a formal waiver being issued by the bank for the forecast covenant breaches, mean there remains a material uncertainty in making these assessments, which may cast significant doubt on the group'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
