Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have closely considered the financial position of the company and group, the borrowing facilities available and the projected operating performance of the business. The directors consider that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Year-on-year turnover increased by 21.0%. However, this growth was not matched by profitability gains because of cost pressures, the difficult sales environment for caravans and the mix of development properties for sale, something that naturally changes from year to year. Operating profit decreased by 73.5%. On an adjusted basis, excluding changes in the value of assets, operating profit fell by 41%. The group's profit before tax decreased by 74.2%, or 43.5% on an adjusted basis.”
• “Properties were sold on four developments: Newtown House, Rothesay House and Hoburne Lane in Highcliffe as well as the first sales at the Lyndhurst Park site on the edge of the New Forest.”
• “The group continued to raise funds for a number of charities during the year, and we were proud to raise a sum of £6,083 (2024: £18,750).”
• “Hoburne Group Limited was incorporated on 11 June 2024 and acquired 100% of the share capital of Burry & Knight Limited on 13 August 2024. All existing shares in Burry & Knight Limited were cancelled and reissued to Hoburne Group Limited for the same value. In addition, 1 preference share of £1 nominal value was issued to Hoburne Group Limited.”

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
