Material uncertainty over going concern
As the franchise ended on 31 March 2025, the going concern basis of preparation is not appropriate, and the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. As a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis, additional future costs have been recognised in the financial statements as of 31 March 2025, and all long-term liabilities have been reclassified to current liabilities.
