The directors have considered the Company's working capital requirements and its ability to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
During 2025 the Company continued to operate under the revised structure established following the closure of the members' club. The Equal Contribution payable by local residents under property covenants was reduced from £220 plus VAT per property in 2024 to £60 plus VAT per property for 2025. This reflected the change in the Company's activities following the closure of the club and the directors' intention that the Company's ongoing activities should, as far as practicable, be supported by its own income rather than requiring significant contributions from residents.
During the year, the tenant occupying the main premises experienced financial difficulties and accumulated significant arrears in respect of rent and recharged property costs. The directors have assessed the recoverability of amounts outstanding at the year end and have made provision against those amounts considered unlikely to be recovered.
Subsequent to the year end, the tenant vacated the main premises. The Company had sufficient resources to manage the resulting period without rental income while the directors sought a replacement tenant. A new tenant, Roman Park View, commenced occupation of the main premises in April 2026, operating the premises as a restaurant and bar.
The Company had no external borrowing at the year end and maintained positive cash reserves and a positive net current asset position. Having considered the Company's financial position, anticipated income and expenditure and developments since the year end, including the new tenancy, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
