Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the core PFI operations covering the remaining life of the concession arrangement through to 2037, which indicate that, taking account severe but plausible downsides, the Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on the underlying customer continuing to meet its obligations under the Project Agreement. With regards to the parent undertaking borrowings and the interest accrued thereon, there are no principal or interest repayments due for repayment until 31 March 2040 at the earliest as per the loan note agreements. Whilst the Group has not produced updated forecasts to demonstrate the ability of the Group to make these repayments, there is no further impact on the period 12 months from the date of sign off, i.e. the year to July 2026. Furthermore, the Directors have received assurances that the Groups' financing arrangements will not be recalled in the event that this will create liquidity and/or solvency issues for the Group. The Directors believe the Group has sufficient funding in place and expect the Group to be in compliance with its debt covenants even in severe but plausible downside scenarios. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Group and Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-01-31 vs 2024-01-31

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
