- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the Directors believe to be appropriate. The Company's ultimate parent undertaking, Star Sirocco Topco Limited, will provide financial support to the Company, such that the Company is able to operate as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A decision by the Group in the period was to approve the acquisition of AI Mistral (Luxembourg) BottomCo S.a.r.l and its subsidiaries by Star Sirocco Bidco Limited, a subsidiary of Star Sirocco Topco Limited. The transaction was approved on the basis that it would provide a strong financial foundation through re-financing for both longer term and day-to-day operations along with further growth and acceleration of the continuing strategic development of the Company.”
- “In 2024, a final settlement amounting to £412k (€500k) was negotiated and agreed between the Company and the former owners with £83k (€100k) being paid in May 2024 and the remaining balance being paid in January 2025.”

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
