Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“After careful consideration of these forecasts, our ability to refinance term bank loans falling due within one year with our supportive relationship bank and in context of the impact of other external factors connected to the hospitality industry, cost of living impact and energy prices on the Group the directors remain of the view that the forecast is achievable and that the headroom within the forecast is sufficient to enable the Group to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment throughout the period of at least 12 months from the date the financial statements are signed. On this basis the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the 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
