Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements which explains the inherent uncertainties regarding the covenant breach, continued support of the bank and the reliance on group support in order for the company to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As stated in note 1, these matters indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company'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
