“The Company has a surplus in shareholders' funds at the year-end, resulting in net reserves of £5.2m. It is anticipated that the surplus generated this year will be donated through gift aid to The National Trust for Scotland during the financial year ending 28 February 2027. Directors have reviewed the budgeted operating plan, cashflow forecast and reserves for the forthcoming 2.5 years after the date of signing and are satisfied with the going concern basis of preparation. The Board believes there to be no material uncertainties over going concern.”
