Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company's Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue in operational existence for the going concern period as set out in IAS I Presentation of Financial Statements i.e. at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its immediate parent, Transport for Wales, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on the Company's immediate parent, Transport for Wales, not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to it, which at 31 March 2025 amounted to £6.9m. Transport for Wales has indicated that it does not intend to seek repayment of these amounts for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
