Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors, at the time of signing the financial statements, have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group Companies have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion the Directors have considered the financial position of the Company and the Group Companies with a particular focus on: cash and the overall liquidity; the continued financial support of the lender bank including, if required, continuation of the loan financial covenants waiver; rolling trading forecasts and cashflow projections for 12 months from the signing date of the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The global economy has seen high level of market volatility in connection with the geopolitical disruptions, the implementation of USA tariffs and the wider impact of current wars which is very much unknown. The Russian-Ukraine conflict has caused increase in energy costs which in turn has contributed to high level of inflation globally.”
• “The Group's lender bank renewed the loan facilities in February 2024 with a reduced ratio on the interest cover financial covenant.”
• “During the year, the loan facilities expired and on 14th February 2024 the loan facilities were renewed by a new consolidated loan facility for the same amount. The new loan is repayable by 14th February 2030, with a break option by the bank on the third anniversary.”

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
