Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have identified a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability as a going concern for no less than 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company, and wider Hand Picked Hotels Limited group, remains reliant on the ongoing support of the ultimate shareholders, which is not legally binding, to enable them to continue as a going concern.

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
