- Affirmed
“The company manages its day to day and medium-term funding requirements through a group overdraft facility and a revolving credit facility which was renewed in June 2023 for a period of three years. The company also took out a new £5 million term loan in June 2023 which was used to repay the previous revolving credit facility and is repayable at £250,000 per quarter until 31 July 2028. There is one bank covenant attached to the term loan which the company is forecast to meet. The combination of this funding is forecast to provide sufficient liquidity to finance monthly cash flows in the ordinary course of business for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements ("the going concern period).”
Significant events
- “The year included very substantial investment in additional state-of-the-art glass sand processing capacity at the Fife Silica Sands site near Alloa which was completed and became fully operational in April 2024.”
