Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks and has prepared a financial forecast covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. A budget has been prepared to the end of 2026 along with a five year plan that spans to 2029, This forecast has been prepared for the purpose of assessing the financial performance and economic conditions to estimate and project future business revenue and expenditure trends. When considering the forecast, the directors have assessed the future economic outlook, including the inflationary and interest rate pressures that are present within the UK economy. The forecast indicates that the company will generate the funds, together with existing retained resources, to meet obligations as they fall.due. Whilst no funding is expected to be required in the foreseeable future, the directors expect that The ARG Hotels Settlement Trust would inject funds if necessary, although no formal commitment is in place at this point. Accordingly, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The company has received compensation in 2025 as a result of the ruling made by the Supreme Court on 17 June 2020 in the cases of Sainsbury's v Visa and Others and Sainsbury's and Others v Mastercard. The judgment upheld the earlier verdict of the Court of Appeal that multilateral interchange fees levied by the credit card companies on credit card payments made by consumers breached EU and national competition laws. The claim entitled the company to compensation, as previously expected by the directors. However, the amount is not significant.”

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
