Material uncertainty over going concern
At the year end, the Company was in a net current liability position of £6,619,007 (2024: £40,853,809 net current asset) and a net liability position of £4,375,513 (2024: £7,307,173), owing to a bond liability becoming current during the period (see note 17 for further information). The Directors believe that preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate due to the continued financial support of the Company's immediate parent company, Stadler Service AG. The Directors have received written confirmation that Stadler Service AG will continue to support the Company through the going concern assessment period to 31 July 2027.
