Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.4 to the financial statements which explains that there is minimal headroom in the December 2025 covenant testing and any plausible reduction in forecast profitability, would result in a potential covenant breach which could trigger a demand for repayment from the bank. As stated in Note 1.4, this event or condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1.4, indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group and parent 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
