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 opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “The company, along with the Unique Boutique Hotels group as a whole, continue its recovery from COVID. The wider Manchester market experienced an increase in demand and recovery in both average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy levels.”
- “The hotel team have worked extremely hard to reduce operating costs, which are now a lower percentage of total revenue, resulting in an increase in EBITDAR, however revenue remains low compared to pre-pandemic levels.”
- “As the financial performance of the hotel improves, the company hopes to refinance its existing loans within the next 12 to 18 months.”
