“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The net current liabilities of the Company at 28 February 2025 are £73.1m (2024: net current liabilities of £64.5m). The Directors of the Company do not expect any significant changes in the Company's activities and they have reasonable expectations that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have concluded that the amounts due from Group undertakings are recoverable and, that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operation, with the commitment of the ultimate parent undertaking, C&C Group plc, to provide financial support to the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due up to 31 August 2026. Based on the going concern review of the Group, such financial support is available. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
