Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors note that a breach of lender covenants has occurred at the parent company level. This breach gives the lender the contractual right, should it choose to enforce it, to demand repayment of the related borrowing. While the directors consider the likelihood of such enforcement to be low, the existence of this covenant breach represents a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
