Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company had net assets of £5m at the reporting date (2023 as restated: £8.8m), albeit part of this is due to the Company's policy of holding its property, plant and equipment at fair value and not at cost. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to March 2026 and the Company's cash flow forecasts indicate that in the forecast period, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash generated by operations, debt facilities (which contain financial covenants), and intercompany balances. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “2024 was the first full year of trading with new rooms inventory (+15 rooms in adjacent buildings, 4+5 North Parade). The new rooms have been well received by guests and commanded a strong premium.”
- “During the year, the Company breached the covenants of the loan and the breach was not waived by the bank. Consequently, the loan became repayable in full immediately and so has been reclassified to due within one year.”
- “Following the year end, the Company entered into a new loan agreement for the refinancing of the loan balance as at 31 December 2024. The bank loan was refinanced on 17 April 2025. The interest rate on the new loan is the aggregate of margin of 2.5% and the fixed interest rate of 3.94%. The termination date for the new loan facility is April 2030.”

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
