Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ormerod Rutter Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “The Company disposed of Fazeley Mill marina, which required significant infrastructure investment, to a specialist waterways civils contractor. The Company also acquired the freehold to Uplarids Marina during the year.”
- “the Company switched banks from NatWest to Lloyds Banking Group.”
- “On 28 November 2024, the company secured a £3.7 million bank loan, which was drawn down in full on the same date. Of the total funds drawn, £1.95 million was used to repay the majority of a £2 million director's loan, which had been provided to the company in July 2024. The remaining loan balance is being utilised for general working capital and strategic business activities.”

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
