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

Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Xeinadin Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year Bar Lounge Limited acquired premises from the company owned and controlled by a key member of staff for a consideration of £1,586,804.”
- “The management of the business and of its immediate parent company Johoco 2029 Limited operates separately from the management of the wider Green King Limited Group and will continue to do so. Support and synergies are sought from the Greene King Group only when it makes sense to do so.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
