- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have considered the Company's net liabilities of £46,837,000 as at 31 December 2024, as well as forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance as well as its own resources, the Company is able to rely on financial support and access cash generated from other members of the Security Group, to the extent necessary, under the terms of the financing arrangements with lenders. The Directors are satisfied that under all reasonable sensitivities the Company has adequate resources to continue in existence for the period of at least 12 months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During 2024: European Rail Finance Holdings Limited was dissolved without going into liquidation by way of 'merger by absorption' with Eversholt Investment Limited (under Irish law) and Eversholt Finance Holdings Limited was voluntarily liquidated (under English law).”

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
