Significant events
- “The Company made a loss of £1,136,327 in the year to 31 January 2025 (2024 – £6,662,077), and is reporting net liabilities of £14,577,689 as at 31 January 2025 (2024 - £13,441,362). This is following the impairment of the intercompany debtor from Ash Holdco 2 Limited to reflect the amount expected to be repaid over the life of the project.”
- “The likelihood of loans being called over the next 12 months is unlikely given that discussions with shareholders to date have not provided any indication they wish to recall or accelerate their loans and, whilst not legally binding, this has been formalised in letters of support which provides sufficient confidence to the Board that the Company will continue as a going concern.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
