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 opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements of the company on a going concern basis, despite the company reporting net current liabilities of £58,974k as at 30 November 2024 (2023 £52,500k). During the year rental income has increased which allows the company to continue to repay its debts as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “The company was established as a special purpose company as part of a combined sale and leaseback and securitisation transaction.”
- “Recent economic instability in the UK coupled with the fluctuation in inflation and cost of living influenced partly by economic factors as well as the continued conflict in Ukraine and the delicate situation that has developed between Israel, Palestine, Iran and the United States of America could have an impact on disposal income for households.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
