- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to the Company's net current asset position of £1,554,000 (2025: £1,641,000) and continuing income from property rentals. At the date of signing these accounts, after making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
