- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The 12-month reporting period follows a necessary 7-month period, resulting for some basic changes to Company payroll processes.”
- “4.1% increase to the National Minimum Wage and 6.7% increase to Real Living Wage (effective April/May 2025) appears to have been accepted by customers as an exceptional cost and, therefore, without any adverse impact on contract margins.”
- “STM continues to closely monitor the introduction of Great British Rail, and its anticipated impact on the rail sector.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
