- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Management continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements due to the following reasons: In making the going concern assessment, management has considered budgets approved for the whole Hard Rock group for 2025 and 2026, revised forecasts for the respective years, a five year strategic plan. The intermediate parent Company, registered in the US Virgin Islands, Seminole HR Holdings, LLC, has provided a letter of support stating their commitment to provide such financial support as may be necessary for at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements, in order to ensure that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The total cash reserves as at 31 December 2024 of the respective financial statements amounted to $936.0m, which demonstrates the parent has the ability to provide financial support. The total net assets of the Company amount to £8.2m (2023: £98.2m) while the net current liabilities amounted to £22.1m (2023: £28.0m). The entity, when needed, is being funded by means of capital contributions from the parent entities for purposes of expanding operations in Europe and United Kingdom. Management has assessed the ability and commitment of the parent entities to provide such support to the Company and concluded that the parent entities have the ability to provide such support as needed. The Directors have assessed the financial position of the parents and subsidiaries, and based on cash forecast analysis, management has no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the group to continue as a going concern. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

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
