Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In the last year the park has experienced challenging market conditions, high levels of inflation and increased wage costs. The directors have analysed various scenarios to test the sensitivity of the business to different trading scenarios and in all cases, the company has sufficient financial resources to continue to operate. Confirmation has also been received of the immediate parent company, Darwin West Country (Guernsey) Limited's, continued commitment to support the company and to meet any short-term working capital needs of the company over the next 12 months. For this reason the directors believe there is no material uncertainty which casts significant doubt on the company's ability to continue to trade into the foreseeable future and it is therefore appropriate to continue to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The performance of the company was less impacted this year by the challenging market conditions. There was a reduction on the prior year's high energy costs, however high levels of inflation and increased wage costs meant that other costs remain high when compared to previous years.”

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
