| On 27 July 2022, shortly before the reporting date, the company entered administration and joint administrators were appointed. At that time the company's ability to continue as a going concern was dependent upon a successful rescue of its business, and a material uncertainty accordingly existed at the reporting date that cast significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The circumstances giving rise to that uncertainty have since been resolved, as set out below.
On 5 September 2025 the company entered into a facility agreement with MIAD Group Limited ("MIAD"), which acted as rescue funder, under which a loan of £3,950,000 was advanced to the company. The proceeds of the loan were applied in discharging the company's creditors in full and in meeting the costs of the administration. The company exited administration on 16 September 2025, and the management of its affairs returned to the directors who had held office immediately before the appointment of the administrators.
On 13 October 2025 the loan of £3,950,000 was capitalised in full, MIAD subscribing for ordinary shares in the company in consideration for the discharge of the loan. Following this debt-for-equity capitalisation the company has no borrowing outstanding in respect of the facility, the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of MIAD, and, following the administration, the company forms part of a group of companies under common control.
At the date of approval of these financial statements the company is solvent and trading. The directors have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and, having regard to the matters set out above, have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence throughout that period. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate. |
