Material uncertainty over going concern
Material uncertainty relating to going concern. We draw attention to note 2 to the financial statements which describes how the ability of the company to continue as a going concern is affected by the refinancing of the borrowing facilities in its ultimate parent company, Pet Family Group Limited, which fall due for refinancing within the 12 months following the date of approval of these financial statements, and the risk associated with the refinancing of these facilities and ongoing availability of finance should the facilities not be renewed.
