Going concern

Affirmed

“The company has completed budgets and cashflow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2026 including an assessment on the current economic climate on the company's liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern. Based upon the forecasting performed, the Directors are confident that the actions and strategies in place and results of the company support the going concern position. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo went ahead as planned in August 2024 and ticket sales have commenced in August 2024 for the 2025 Tattoo. The Directors believe that the impact from the current economic climate does not present a material uncertainty to the Company's going concern position, due to the cashflow, resources and various mitigating strategies that are available to the Company including support from other Group companies. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and therefore adopt a going concern basis of accounting in preparing the 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
