- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe it is appropriate for the SFTi Financial Statements to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. This is based on detailed models of investments held and related income streams which are expected to generate income for a period of 20 years. Consequently, in managing this capital, the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. As such, the directors have reviewed the sensitivities and reverse stress test to the end of March 2027 and believe SFTi will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities taking account of its current position and principal risks and issues, as detailed above.”
Significant events
- “At the year-end three projects forecast that they will be unable to repay subordinated loan notes in full by their expiry dates.”
- “Scottish Government announced on 7 May 2025 the appointment of two new non-executive directors to the Boards of Scottish Futures Trust and Scottish Futures Trust Investments with effect from 1 May 2025.”

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
