- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared detailed cash flow forecasts which show that after considering reasonable downside scenarios, the group has sufficient funds to support their activities and meet their liabilities as they fall due based on forecasted trading levels and that the funding is held for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. On the basis set out above, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On the date of signing these accounts the group are at the advanced stages of updating their facilities with HSBC UK Bank Plc. This involves the creation of a new term loan, amortising over 3 years, to settle the remainder of the outstanding term loan debt due to HSBC UK Bank Plc that will fall due in October 2025. It also enables the settlement of the Loan Note A's on their first available payment date, also in October 2025. The remaining Loan Note B's will be settled at the earliest opportunity in line with creation of free cash beyond the operational and already committed liquidity requirements of the group.”

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
