Going concern

Affirmed

“In undertaking their going concern review, the directors have given due consideration to the Company's trading together with forward-looking projections to the end of March 2027. The directors have also obtained letters from related party creditors confirming their commitment to continue providing existing funding and facilities to the Company, including the £6.6m facility expiring in March 2028 (see note 22). The Company has prepared detailed cash flow forecasts and undertaken further scenario modelling, including sales sensitivities, different assumptions regarding the future mix of store and online sales, and the potential working capital impact. The operating plans and financial forecasts, including related party funding, that have been modelled indicate that the Company has sufficient cash headroom to meet its liabilities as they fall due. It is on this basis, that the directors consider that the Company will be a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and they have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
