“The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. Business activities, performance and position, together with principal risks and uncertainties likely to affect future development and performance are set out in the strategic report and above. The company has: (1) undrawn borrowing facilities of £160m at the balance sheet date; (2) has a prudent debt to RAV position at the balance sheet date; and (3) regulated revenue income until 31 March 2031 under RIIO-GD2 and RIIO-GD3. The directors have made enquiries and reviewed the forecasts to December 2029 which include assessment of covenants, and in light of the facilities available, have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
