Material uncertainty over going concern
The company has not fully met the financial covenants attached to one of the bank loans and therefore this loan has been classified as falling due within one year. The company has worked closely with the bank, both during and since the year end, and they remain supportive of the company and are expected to remain so for the forseeable future.

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
