- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “The past four financial years have seen a challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic backdrop, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the US regional banking crisis, the collapse of Credit Suisse, the conflict in the Middle East, the impact of rising inflation and interest rates, the imposition of tariffs by the United States, and the Iran conflict.”
- “The Iran conflict has led to an increase in mortgage rates in the UK, and the spectre of rising inflation. This could impact cost of living in the UK, and the level of housing transactions may fall as the cost of mortgages increases.”
- “We have seen some competitor openings in the year in our areas of operation, although the overall level of penetration of self storage in the UK remains significantly below that of the US and Australia.”
- “The Group, of which the Company is part, experienced a fire caused by arson at our Armadillo Cheadle store in 2022. Our crisis response team worked effectively in managing the incident.”
