Material uncertainty over going concern
The company has external bank loans due for repayment on 18 December 2027. The directors have been in discussions with a number of banks to refinance the loan and remain confident that the loan will either be extended or refinanced in advance of the loan repayment date. However, no refinancing has been agreed as at the date of approving these financial statements. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2.3 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
