“Although the results in the year ended 31st March 2025 reflected a disappointing loss, this can be attributed to three major factors. (1) The fact that the Company did not benefit from a full season from the Alpamare project (only opening on 24th July 2024), (2) Continued losses from the Dewars Hotel and Restaurant, which is to be expected while the business develops and becomes established. Dewars Hotel and Restaurant had been closed for a number of years before it was completely redeveloped by the Company. For the Year Ended 31st March 2026 the Company restyled the business model for this location so that it appeals to a wider range of clientele and (3) A poor British summer which it is believed affected attendances. Looking forward, the redevelopment and extension of the Lost Rover ride is nearing completion, and a period of heavy capital investment is nearing completion. Management accounts which, are prepared monthly, show that results in the current accounting period have improved which is encouraging as from 1st April 2025 there were significant increases in Employer National Insurance contributions and the National Living Wage. As most of the immediate ongoing development costs have been completed (or are very close to completion), the directors feel that the company is in a better position from a cash flow perspective. The Directors have considered various courses of action that could be undertaken in the event that market conditions deteriorate. These courses of action include the potential to reduce non-essential ongoing costs and the curtailment of elective capital expenditure. These factors, including the flexibility that is available to the Directors in being selective on future spending plans by ensuring that they remain within anticipated cash flows, allows the Directors to have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the signing of these financial statements. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

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
