- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“Material uncertainty relating to going concern We draw attention to note 1.2 to the financial statements, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of £82,242 during the year ended 31 January 2025 and, as at that date, the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by £288,615. As stated in note 1.2, these conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The 2024-25 trading year was dominated by one factor: the effect of the landslip at Duffield that had prevented us from operating trains along the length of the railway from October 2023 until mid-June 2024.”
- “Turnover increased by an impressive 15%, but the company is operating at the limits of its capacity.”
- “Catering had an excellent year with an increase in turnover of 23%.”
- “A growing railway comes with higher administrative costs. These have risen by 34% from £469,639 to £627,681 and the most significant increase was in advertising, which increased 158% to £75,985. Wages and Salaries grew by 37% to £263,507, while Power, Heat & Light increased by 45% to £36,147. Fuel and oil, of which a significant proportion was coal, increased by 30% to £95,363.”
