  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to note 2 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continued financial support from its parent company, and the outcome of a potential sale process, which may result in a change in ownership of the Company. These events and conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2, constitute a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events

• “On the 8th May 2025, the UK Government announced a limited US/UK Trade Deal, within this arrangement the UK granted a tariff free quota for ethanol to the United States. This is likely to come into effect before the end of 2025 and will bring further significant downward pressure on the UK ethanol market. The business has therefore approached the UK Government for financial support.”
• “CropEnergies announcing that the Ensus business is for sale in February 2025.”
• “specific impairments of EnPro and MVR assets and a full impairment of the remaining PPE assets £108,059,000 have been recognised in the year ending 28 February 2025.”

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
