“The Directors are confident that the financial performance of the legal entity will continue to generate cash and will improve as it has over the past 5 years. As at 31 March 2026, the Company has no borrowings and the Company has £226,627,000 of deposits to Hitachi Treasury. Consequently, taking into account the support from Hitachi Energy Ltd, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period through to 24 June 2027. This, along with the strong pipeline of orders, provides confidence in the going concern of the entity.”
