- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “A freight supplier asserted a claim for damages against the Company, and the Company lodged a counterclaim, both arising from past freight activities. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the Directors consider that the outcome of both the claim and the counterclaim remains uncertain. The likelihood and amount of any potential liability of the Company, or any potential recovery by the Company, cannot presently be reliably estimated.”
