- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. 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
- “In our estate 5% of our estate has been closed and sold for alternative use in this fiscal year.”
- “Major projects during this reporting year have included a substantial investment into the Bricklayers Arms, Shrewsbury.”
- “Committed to a substantial investment at our brewery site with the creation of a dedicated pub for events, The Stags Head acquired the previous year.”
- “Investment has been earmarked for the expansion of capacity at the brewery which produces 6000 barrels per annum and is at capacity. The investment will increase capacity to 9000 barrels.”
- “In the current year we have purchased further land adjacent to the brewery site. Also, in the current year, we have also refurbished the onsite tap.”
- “Planning submissions have been deposited for our Birmingham expansion. In the financial year, we completed the purchase of The New Inn Harborne, and in the current year we have purchased a further pub, what was the Pierre Bistrot on Gas Street.”
