- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on a review of the above, the directors are satisfied that the company has, and will maintain, sufficient resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the company's financial statements. Accordingly, the company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The effective blockade of the Straight of Hormuz is affecting product flows from the region, the quantity of global movements impacted are circa 20% of global oil movements, as observed during the Ukraine crises quantities in this order of magnitude disrupt supply chains. This puts pressure on the customers of Oikos to source product from alternative origins, this will only become an issue if alternate supply points cannot bridge the deficit supply originally from that region. Currently customers have been able to maintain historic throughput levels which have not impacted the variable revenue streams of Oikos.”
- “As observed during the Ukraine/Russia conflict periods of sustained high commodity prices drives up inflation which has an impact on operational costs at Oikos, vendor and energy costs.”
