Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in light of the long-range forecasts prepared and the cash facilities of at least A16m currently available, of which A12.9m has been drawn down by 30 March 2025. We note the net current liabilities position as shown in the balance sheet but are able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. Having already negotiated the recent turbulent years and recorded above forecasted profits in the current financial year, the Company believes it is well placed to trade effectively in the future.”

Significant events

• “The Wheatsheaf in Lymm transferred to tenancy, from managed, in the final quarter of the year.”
• “The Company continued its programme of investment in the Managed Estate. Schemes were completed at the Victoria in Withington, the Nursery Inn in Stockport and the Hornsmill in Helsby. The rooms in the boutique hotel at the Abel Heywood in the Northern Quarter area of Manchester City Centre were also refurbished in the latter part of the year.”
• “Despite one resignation at Board Level during the year, we have continued to benefit from creative and complimentary skills around the table.”
• “The pension scheme is now recorded as a small asset of £22k an improvement from a £0.1m liability in the prior year with no Company contributions required in the year following the completion of the triennial review.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
