Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The latest year has reflected a further year of revenue enhancement, with a net improvement in turnover of 8%, this following the previous year's growth of 5.5%.”
• “Administrative and overhead costs have, however, also increased quite markedly, this largely as a consequence of global and macro-economic issues which have significantly impacted on some of the key cost categories of the business including, in particular, costs of employment.”
• “This has given rise to a pre tax profit for the year of £3.8 million, (2023 £2.8 million).”
• “shareholder funds have increased from £25.1 million to £28.7 million.”
• “The company has made significant progress since the enforced closures that impacted the hotel and leisure industry so heavily. This is the third full year of trade since re-opening and no changes to the nature of the business are anticipated in the longer term, but the directors are committed to delivering a safe environment, with the health and safety of guests and team members being one of our highest priorities.”
• “The company is looking to improve efficiencies and reduce its carbon footprint further following the significant solar energy generation investment in 2023.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
