- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. In the short term cash holdings are sufficient to ensure adequate cashflow for the foreseeable future. In the medium to long term plans for, and the structure of, The Malvern Collection Limited remain extant and will continue to be reviewed regularly.”
Significant events
- “Sales fell marginally to £19,173,986 during the financial year, as demand for the Company's products was impacted by sluggish economic growth and higher interest rates. This modest fall in demand combined with continuing inflation, also led to a reduction in Gross Profit, which fell from 44.6% in the previous financial year to 41.5%.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
