- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “The Company has declared a share capital reduction of £450,000 on 25 March 2025, and £500,000 on 21 July 2025 to return surplus through capital reduction to the Company's sole shareholder, CDL HBT Cambridge City (UK) Limited. Following the capital reduction, the total share capital of the Company is £27,880,326. The Company has 27,880,326 fully paid ordinary shares of £1.00 each.”
- “The Company has declared an interim dividend of £1,000,000 out of its distributable profits on 21 July 2025.”

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
