“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis; the directors consider this to be appropriate for the following reasons: The directors have prepared a going concern assessment covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The going concern assessment indicates a positive cash forecast and budgeted profit growth, the directors consider that the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. This assessment also takes account of the additional funding from Scottish Water Horizons Holdings Limited (SWHH) which is available if required, but this is primarily used to finance the net zero capital investment budget.”
