- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In light of the positive trading and cash generation projections, projected delivery of financial covenant requirements, and supportive banks, the Board has a high degree of confidence that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and meet its covenant obligations for a period of at least twelve months. The Directors have therefore concluded that the company can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Significant events
- “The Company is party to a loan facility amounting to £125,000,000 which is secured by legal charges over properties owned by the Company and Firmdale Property Investments Limited, a fellow subsidiary of Firmdale Holdings Limited.”
- “The entity is involved in legal proceedings in relation to the recovery of interchange fees charged on payment card transactions, from which appropriate financial compensation is considered probable.”
- “The entity is involved in legal proceedings in respect of a negligence matter from which an economic benefit is considered probable.”
- “On 14 November 2024 a legal fixed and floating charge was registered to Lloyds Bank over the leasehold property at Soho Hotel, 4 and 6 Richmond Mews, as a cross charge with Firmdale West End Limited, Firmdale Property Investments Limited (both members of the Firmdale Group) and Soho Hotel Limited.”
