Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
The Company's contract expiry date is 31 July 2026, at which point the schools will be handed over to the local authority and all contracts will expire. This will also effectively mean that the SPV will stop trading from this date. It is the intention of the Directors to wind up the Company's affairs in the medium term and, as such, the accounts have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
