- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the future funding requirements of the Company and have compared these funding requirements to the level of borrowing facilities which are assumed to be available, including working capital facilities. The Company, and its direct parent company Tata Steel UK Limited ('TSUK'), are part of the Tata Steel Limited ('TSL') group. For these reasons, the directors have determined that it is appropriate for the financial statements of the Company to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In May 2025, the sale of a business in which the Company held an equity investment was agreed by the management and shareholders of the business. This resulted in the Company receiving sale proceeds that were £979,000 above the carrying value at 31 March 2025. In accordance with the Company's accounting policies, this gain will be recognised in the results of the Company for the year ending 31 March 2026.”
