- 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.”
Significant events
- “The principal risk facing the company is a downturn in the London hotel market, which would impact on the operating margins of the hotels and hence the ability of the company to charge management fees. The directors are confident that the group can continue to manage this risk, and the resilient post-COVID trading is evidence of the strength of the business model.”
