- Audit opinion
- Qualified
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At 31 March 2025, the financial statements showed a net current asset position of £69,110 (2024 - net current liability of £1,110,158). The Director has provided written confirmation that he will provide financial support as required, to ensure that the Company meets its liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. This includes not seeking repayment of the director loan balance of £1,271,788 (2024 - £1,623,074) until the Company is in a financial position to facilitate repayment. Based on the above and having considered post year end performance and cash flow projections (covering a period to 30 November 2026), at the time of approving the financial statements, the Director has a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The statutory loss of £994,325 (2024 - profit £176,504 as restated) reflects specific strategic actions, including the sale of a property at a loss and other one off actions.”
- “During the financial year ended 31 March 2025, Caledonia Inns Limited completed the disposal of its investment property for a total consideration of £1,506,000. The property had previously been revalued to £2,700,000, resulting in a loss of £1,194,000.”

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
