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
“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. 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. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The concession ends in 2033.”
- “The Company has been performing well and has been compliant with the covenants laid out in the Group loan agreement.”
- “Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £2,378,000 (2024: £nil).”
- “The Directors have agreed with the Company's auditors that the auditor's liability to damages for breach of duty in relation to the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year to 31 March 2025 should be limited to the greater of £5 million or 5 times the auditor's fees, and that in any event the auditor's liability for damages for breach of duty in relation to the audit of the Company as is just and equitable having regard to the extent to which the auditor, the Company and any third parties are responsible for the loss in question.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
