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 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 invested heavily during the year under review in completely renovating Caulders Linlithgow following its acquisition in 2024 and the Directors are extremely pleased with newly refurbished Centre.”
- “In addition, an entirely new restaurant was built at Caulders Kirkintilloch which has transformed the dining experience there.”
- “Trading figures following the year end have been strong and the Directors believe that the outlook is very positive for the remainder of 2026.”
