  Material uncertainty over going concern

  Based on this assessment, the directors have concluded that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. This uncertainty arises from the Group's ongoing trading losses, the volatile economic and political environment over which the Directors have no control and the inherent risks associated with achieving the planned mitigating actions described above. If these uncertainties were to crystallise, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Notwithstanding this material uncertainty, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, for the following reasons: • The Group has identified and commenced implementation of plans to dispose of non-core investment properties for which sales have been agreed and which are expected to realise £2.5m before the end of 2025; • Actions are underway to streamline stock and reduce working capital requirements which have the potential to release £2m of additional cash; • Sales initiatives, although uncertain in their outcome, provide potential for revenue improvement; • The directors are confident that these measures will enable the Group to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

Significant events

• “the board took the step of changing the year end which has the effect of making direct comparison to previous years very difficult, but in summary sales remain broadly flat year-on-year.”
• “April 2025 increases in both national living wage and employers national insurance represented a significant challenge. The board have addressed this, with a heavy heart, by rationalising the workforce along with the store opening hours. Each store is now open for 90 fewer minutes each day. Thankfully customer loyalty has continued and no loss in revenue has arisen from these reduced trading hours.”
