Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have performed a going concern assessment which indicates that, in both the base and reasonably possible downsides, the Company will require additional funds, through funding from its intermediate parent company, Stonegate Pub Company Limited to meet its liabilities as they fall due during 12 month period from the date of signing these financial statements, the going concern assessment period. Stonegate Pub Company Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts currently due to the Group, which at 29 September 2024 amounted to £41,567,000, during the going concern assessment period. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
