Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events

• “On 1 November 2025, there was an intra group sale and purchase agreement detailing the transfer of trade and assets from Dine Contract Catering Limited to Compass Contract Services (U.K.) Limited. The Company now acts as an agent on behalf of it's principal Compass Contract Services (U.K.) Limited, any revenue generated is now transferred to the principal.”
• “As at the signing date of these financial statements, the consideration amount has not been determined, and management are still in the process of identifying the financial impact.”

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
