- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 5 September 2025, Evergreen M&A Holdco Limited acquired 100% of the share capital of Manor House Hotel (Okehampton) Limited, thereby obtaining control of the Company.”
- “During the year an impairment review was undertaken which resulted in an impairment charge being recognised in the financial statement against the carrying value of the fixed assets.”

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
