Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors confirm that, based on the most recent available forecasts, there is a material uncertainty that the Group will have sufficient cash resources available to meet all of its liabilities as they fall due, particularly across the quieter winter trading period where the Group's operating liquidity is typically lower. ... The Directors consider these conditions represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
