Significant events
- “During the period, the company undertook a restructuring as part of a wider group reorganisation. As part of this process, the company transferred its property, together with the associated secured bank borrowings, to its then parent undertaking, William Grace Limited. The transfer was effected by way of an extraordinary dividend in specie of £518,658 declared and distributed to William Grace Limited during the period.”
- “During the year freehold land and buildings were disposed of. As disposal proceeds were equivalent to the carrying value of the asset, no profit or loss was recognised on disposal. The revaluation reserve as a result of the disposal has been transferred to retained earnings.”
- “During the year the company settled all outstanding loans as part of the disposal of freehold property and group restructure.”
