As of the reporting date, the Group has received a waiver from the lender with regard to breach in covenant. This mitigates any adverse impact on the Group's liquidity position.

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
