Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had net liabilities of £4,771k (2023: net liabilities of £4,390k) and net current liabilities of £4,771k (2023: net current liabilities of £4,390k). At the balance sheet date, the company owed monies to fellow group companies of £4,776k. In response to the net current liabilities position, net liabilities position and intercompany borrowings position, when performing their going concern assessment, which covers the period through to 31 March 2027, the directors have obtained a parental support letter from Femur Buyer Inc ("US Group") to support their going concern conclusions. These circumstances indicate the existence of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that 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

Significant events
- “In late October 2025, Femur Buyer, Inc. group (the "Group") restructured its outstanding debt, strengthening Femur Buyer Inc Groups' liquidity. As part of this transaction, all of its outstanding second lien debt was exchanged for common equity and a portion of its first lien debt was exchanged for preferred equity.”
- “In addition, the directors of Femur Buyer Inc have signed a merger deal with Tecomet on 14 January 2026, to improve cost synergies in the long term, subject to Regulatory approval and closing conditions. The merger will not be final until no earlier than Q2 2026 and both companies will continue to operate separately until Regulatory approval is complete.”
