- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After considering the Company and Group's forecasts, available facilities, post-balance-sheet debt restructuring and a range of downside scenarios, the Directors are satisfied that the Company and Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that no material uncertainties exist.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end the Group undertook a restructuring whereby BlackRock took control of the Group on 8 January 2026 by fully acquiring the immediate parent company, Mode Solutions Limited via Edna Bidco Ltd (a company registered in Jersey). As part of the restructuring, the Group refinanced its senior term loan held with BlackRock. The existing facility has been re-tranched into a new term facility of £10,000,000 that is due to be repaid in full on 8 January 2033. Additionally as part of the Group restructuring, amounts owed to companies outside of the new Group totalling £5,282,995 were sold to Edna Bidco for £1. As the Group restructuring occurred after the reporting date, it is treated as a non-adjusting event.”
