- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year company's freehold land and buildings were sold and leased back on a 10-year lease of £50,000 per annum enabling settlement of the £342,211 brought forward long-term loan liability. The sale price was £550,000 and the impact on the 2024 accounts was: • Profit on disposal £280,850 • Fixed assets were reduced by £504,000 • The revaluation reserve of £247,946 was eliminated”

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
