- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors 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
- “Despite the good performance during the year, the directors are conscious that there are new challenges facing the company. These include escalating prices associated with Brexit, unusually high inflation rates and the global instability brought about by the wars in Ukraine and Israel. Consequently, oil prices are high and the purchase of diesel and shipping surcharges continue to cause pressure for the industry.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
