- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have considered cash flow requirement for the period to 30 September 2026 (the "going concern period"). The Company had net asset of £1,550,164 (2023 - £1,362,054) as at 31 December 2024, and net current assets of £228,768 (2023 - £445,934) and no external borrowing, though the Company had operating losses of £31,890 in 2024 (2023- loss of £96,943). The directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to the continued financial support from the immediate parent company, Mitsubishi Estate Europe Limited ('MEE'). The directors have obtained a support letter from MEE Limited, the immediate parent company of the Company, which has confirmed its intention to provide ongoing financial support for the going concern period throughout to 30 September 2026. The directors have carried out an assessment, including consideration of appropriate forecast, which indicate that MEE as part of Mitsubishi Estate Company Limited (the Group), will have adequate resources to continue to trade for the going concern period based on the ongoing liquidity of the Group. At the Group level, considerations included potential risks and uncertainties in the business, credit, market, property valuation and liquidity risks, including the availability and repayment profile of debt facilities, as well as forecast covenant compliance. In addition, the Directors considered the potential future risks of economic uncertainty related to macro-economic events, including the geopolitical instability, further costs increase due to inflation, pressures from increasing interest rates and outward yield movement. Further stress testing involving downside scenarios has been carried out to ensure that the Group has sufficient cash resources to continue in operation for the going concern period. The Directors has also evaluated potential events and conditions beyond the going concern period that may cast significant doubt on the going concern assessment, specifically, the ability of the Group to secure refinancing or extend existing facilities. Based on this, together with available market information and the Directors' knowledge and experience of the Group, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.”

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
