- 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, the company continued to operate as a KFC franchisee.”
- “The company has identified the importance and strength of both the offering of delivery and operating drive thru stores. The Directors continue to look for future store openings which will maximise these opportunities.”
