- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “There were donations made in the year of £2,437 (2023: £1,150)”
- “In 2007 the company entered into an Omnibus Guarantee and Set-Off Agreement securing all monies due to Lloyds TSB Bank Plc by the company and by Wisdom Properties Limited, its parent company. At the same date, the bank has also created a Debenture Deed securing all monies and liabilities due by the company to the bank over the assets of the company.”

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
