Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company had net current assets at 31 December 2024 of £23.7m (2023: £35.0m) and the Directors observe that the Company has access to sufficient financial resources through both its parent company, Porterbrook Rail Finance Limited and subsidiary company, Porterbrook Leasing Company Limited, together with long term contracts with its subsidiary Group companies. Porterbrook Leasing Company Limited has agreed to provide financial support to the Company. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully in the current economic environment. The Group, of which the Company is a part, is managed on a consolidated basis and hence the Directors have also considered the forecast cash flows and the ability, as disclosed in its financial statements of the parent company, Porterbrook Rail Finance Limited, in providing financial support. Therefore the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and so they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
