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

Accounting basis: FRS 102 §1A
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Abridged: Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
Auditor: Mantax Lynton
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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. At the balance sheet date the Company had net current liabilities of £5,354,708 (2024: £3,667,399). Included within current liabilities is approximately £5.7 million due to the director and ultimate beneficial owner of the wider group, the parent company and other undertakings under his control. The director and those undertakings have confirmed in writing that they will not demand repayment of these amounts and will continue to provide financial support, unless and until the Company's liquidity position improves, so that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Hence it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on going concern basis.”

Significant events

“After the reporting date, the Company entered into arrangements to change the hotel branding from Best Western to Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The change of branding has been effective from 17 September 2025 and involve one off rebranding costs and related implementation works together with ongoing franchise and marketing fees under the Hilton brand.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
