- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “In 2014, the company provided a guarantee by way of fixed and floating charge over its assets and share capital against its credit facility.”
- “Under the terms of a profit share agreement entered into with Evolve Estates Limited, if Grainrent Limited disposes of an investment property a charge equal to 35% of profit over historical cost crystallises. If all investment properties were sold at current book values this charge would be £4,800,000 (2024: £6,200,000).”
