- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £64,908,000 as at 30 September 2024 the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements ("the going concern assessment period"). The directors have given careful consideration to the current challenging macro-economic environment, including high energy prices, general cost inflation and interest rates. In forming their view the directors have taken into consideration that Frasers Property Limited, the penultimate parent company, has provided a letter of support to the directors of the Company to confirm that it intends, should the need arise, to provide financial and/or other support to the Company, including, if required, not seeking repayment of amounts currently made available (Note 12 - £106,237,000 at 30 September 2024), for the year. Having performed this assessment, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue in operational existence by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment 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. As with any entity placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Board 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. As a result, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare 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
