- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections for not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and taking into account current financial resources, the directors have a reasonable expectation that Lingfield Park Limited has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties that give rise to significant doubt as to the company's ability to continue to prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Lingfield Park hosted 67 race meetings during 2024 (2023: 75) across its All-Weather, Flat and Jump tracks.”
- “Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2024 was £20,595,905 (2023: £22,906,906). The decrease was a reflection of the growing cost of living and competition the leisure spend.”
- “Operating results decreased from £2,743,277 profit in 2023 to £355,938 profit in 2024.”
- “Investment in fixed assets during the year was restricted to essential works, committed projects and the fulfilment of regulatory obligations. All other expenditure was closely monitored.”
- “The Company made use of additional funding from group companies during the year and this is reflected in the increase in amounts due to group companies at the year end.”

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
