Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1.3 in the financial statements which explains that the company has entered into a standstill agreement with the Lloyds Bank as it has breached the terms of its facility agreement. The terms of the standstill agreement require the company to sell properties in order to repay bank loans totalling £21,208,781. Whilst the sale of properties is progressing, the timing of the completion of the transactions are uncertain and as a result the company is reliant on an extension of the existing standstill agreement with the bank, which currently expires on 31 August 2025. As stated in note 1.3 these events and conditions, along with the other matters as detailed in note 1.3 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
