“The group, headed by Cedar Project Holdco Limited, utilises funding arrangements from both its bank, in the form of a £72.3m facilities agreements and its ultimate parent undertakings, Cedar Luxco S.a.r.l, in the form of a £63.9m loan balance. The directors have obtained a letter of support from the parent confirming their intention not to seek repayment of their loan balance in the going concern period. The directors have prepared forecasts to 31 December 2026 which show that the group is expected to have a sufficient level of financial resources available to continue to operate. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the group has secured a new bank loan facility for £75.0m with additional facilities of £5.0m available immediately and an additional £5.0m available 12 months after completion that matures in September 2030. As a result of the above and the group having net liabilities of £12,002,923 (2024: £2,666,785) at the end of this financial period the directors have reviewed forecasts for the period to 31 December 2026 and do not believe that there are any material uncertainties which cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
