During the year the company reconciled the balances it had carried forward from earlier years to the finalised accounts of the connected companies concerned, to HM Revenue & Customs' records and to the certified service charge statements of the blocks it manages. The amount shown in the 2024 balance sheet as owed by Northern Eye UK Limited (£332,954) was not recognised by that company, whose finalised accounts show the company owing it £5,871 net; the difference has been written off. Leaseholder debtor and creditor balances brought forward from the company's previous accounting system, which are not reflected in the certified block statements, have been written off and released respectively. Balances recorded in the name of Hancock & Bentley Limited (now Cobourg Living Ltd) that Cobourg Living Ltd does not claim have been released, together with deferred income carried forward from 2023 and a PAYE liability that HM Revenue & Customs confirms is not due. The directors have chosen to reflect these corrections in the current year rather than restate the comparative figures.
