Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Whilst the economic landscape continues to be challenging for sector in general and Kendal Brewery Arts in particular, the Trustees believe that they can adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the annual accounts. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including annual budget, performance in Q1 of 2024-25, updated forecast and future cashflows in making their assessment. The following information has been key to this process. The charity owns its building and land. The charity has released endowment funds to reduce the historic deficit during the 2024-25 financial year. Operating and Capital Budgets for future years have been designed to generate cash positive balances, including surplus balances for the subsidiary company. In response to the current economic climate the Trustees have tested their cash flow analysis to take into account possible impacts alongside mitigations that could be taken. Arts Council England funding has been secured for a further three years from 2024-27. Local Authority funding has been secured for a further year from 2024-25. BFI has confirmed continued annual strategic partnership funding from 2024-25.”

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
