“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited has provided a letter of support to Metroline Manchester stating that they will assist the Company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024. The Directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the ability of ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited to honour the letter of ongoing financial support.”
