Charges registered
Companies House lists one or more registered charges (e.g. mortgages or debentures). Some may since have been satisfied — see the official charges register for current status.

Material uncertainty over going concern
After due consideration of the matters set out above, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Nevertheless, the requirement to renegotiate the Group's UK debt facility within the next 12 months and the potential need for uncommitted funds from the Group's investors indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, to continue realising their assets and discharging their liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
