- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Old Thorns revenue has exceeded pre pandemic levels. After careful consideration of the group's forecasts and projections we strongly believe that the business will continue to grow. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events
- “During the year capital expenditure included refurbishment of the SPA relaxation rooms, refit of the men's changing rooms, new equipment in the health club and tennis court improvements.”
- “As part of a renewable energy programme additional solar panels were fitted to the hotel in June 23, this will help reduce the companies carbon footprint going forward. Furthermore we now have an agreement with Tesla that the EV charging points in the car park will no longer be restricted to Tesla's and can now be used by all brands of EV which will help with our bid to reduce greenhouse emissions.”
- “During the current and previous year, the group was unable to meet the financial covenants in accordance with the loan agreement which resulted in an Event of Default. As such the lender has reserved the right to recall the loan if they choose to do so. Post year end, upon the loan reaching maturity in June 2024, the loan was successfully renegotiated, extending the maturity date to June 2027.”

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
