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

- 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 Group's or the Parent 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
- “As Hotel La Tour, the hotel operated by the Group's trading subsidiary, has been operating for 3 years and moves towards stabile growth the Directors have made the decision to shift from a development loan to an interest-only loan. On 3 October 2025 the bank loan included within note 18 of these consolidated financial statements was refinanced with another lender. All outstanding security charges held in relation to this loan were therefore released and new charges over certain assets agreed.”
