Material uncertainty over going concern
During the year, the company sold the hotel on 14 February 2025. After taking this and other factors into account, the accounts have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. ... We draw attention to Note 1 - 'Basis of preparation' to the financial statements which explains that the company sold the hotel on 14 February 2025. The director has taken the decision that the company will remain in existence, albeit as a non-trading company. Consequently, the director does not consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in Note 1. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
