Material uncertainty over going concern
At 31 December 2024, the company had net current liabilities of £4,672,000 and recorded a loss after tax of £887,000 for the year then ended. The company participates in a group treasury arrangement and its cash flow forecasts are consequently dependent on the company's parent undertaking, Project Santis Omega Bidco Limited to make available funds as needed by the company. Project Santis Omega Bidco Limited has agreed to provide financial support to enable the company to meet its objectives as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the 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
