Going concern

Affirmed

“The Group's parent company, Karali Investments Limited, has signed a letter of financial support for the Group, and so the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts. Consequently, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Seven loss making sites were identified for disposal owing to the change in footfall patterns post pandemic, avoiding further recurring EBITDA losses of £0.9m.”
• “The full refurbishment of 8 sites and the freshening up of further sites across the Côte estate with a total of £8.7m invested in the financial period.”
• “The sale agreement included the injection of £3.4m of working capital into the business.”
• “Subsequent to the year end, Better Taste Holding 1 Ltd sold its investment in Better Taste Holding 2 Ltd. As a result, on 3 October 2025, the Company's ultimate parent company and ultimate controlling party became Karali Investments Ltd”

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
