What the accounts disclose

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“Provided that all hall users can agree with the increase in pricing we are confident that the hall will be able to cover the general running costs and remain open for the foreseeable future. Obviously if the hall users are not prepared to accept the increase, we estimate that the hall will not be financially to run effectively through another winter and the hall will, most likely, be forced to close and the building will revert to Bradford Council.” — page 7
