Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to the accounting policies note 'going concern' in the financial statements on page 9, which indicates that the free reserves balance is under £255k at 30 June 2025, and that continued deficits are forecast for 2025/26 and 2026/27, meaning that free reserves would be extinguished within that timeframe without the realisation of property assets or additional loan finance secured against property assets.

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
