“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate... The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 19 months... which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides and tougher competition, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company negotiated the exit of a lease for a retail property that was fully impaired during the year, following a review of its carrying value against its recoverable amount.”
- “The early termination was agreed with the landlord and took effect on 3 June 2026. Under the terms agreed, the Company will make a lease surrender payment of £250,000 and will receive a dilapidations settlement from the landlord of £24,742, resulting in a net cash outflow of £225,258. As the agreement was concluded after the balance sheet date, this is classified as a non-adjusting event.”
- “The Company is exercising a break clause from a retail property with an expected exit date of 7 July 2026. No amounts are payable or receivable by the Company in connection with this termination.”
