- Reporting scope

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The balance sheet shows that the Company has net current liabilities. The principal creditor is the ultimate parent company and the terms of the borrowing include the right of the subsidiary to request that the amount of the loan equal to any deficit be eliminated by converting the loan into share capital. The going concern of the Company is therefore dependent on the going concern of the Group... they believe the going concern basis is an appropriate one.”
Significant events
- “On 2 October 2024, the Company was subject to a corporate acquisition resulting in a change of ownership.”
- “The acquisition resulted in a change of the Company name, effective from 02 October 2024.”
- “The Company joined the British Land REIT group on 2 October 2024 and from this date the property rental business income and gains are tax exempt.”
- “There have been no significant events since the period end.”
