- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 hotel's trading performance during 2024 fell short of budget due to the impact of its refurbishment and delay in the return of room inventory.”
- “The second phase of the refurbishment program involved the remaining six floors of bedrooms, with 3 of the floors having been successfully handed back by December 2024. Two floors are expected to be added to the inventory during the first and second quarter of 2025. The top floor refurbishment, which will include a new Food and Beverage outlet and 3 top suites, is expected to be completed in early 2026.”
- “Inflationary pressures remained evident, as in 2023, across the business with increased cost for raw materials and services, which in turn led to some increases in selling prices.”

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
