- “In March 2026 the Group restructured its financial derivative with HSBC, having a nominal value of £35,000,000 providing a fixed interest rate of 3.40%, via the cancellation of the existing contract and entering into a new contract, so that this interest rate swap will now end on 1 September 2031 rather than the original end date of 1 September 2038. This has resulted in a cash settlement of £2.06 million being received by the Group.”

- “In April 2026 the Group completed on the disposal of two shops in Widnes to two different parties - sold at Public Auction. This generated cash on the disposals of £284,000 before costs resulting in a circa £80,000 profit on book value. One of the shops was purchased by a related party.”
