- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the group's forecasts and projections, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Demand has been high, however, it is anticipated that the cost of living crisis and fluctuating fuel prices will have an effect on demand as well as profitability.”
- “Under the terms of the contract hire agreements, the company has an obligation to purchase equipment at the cessation of the agreement, at a pre agreed price, if the customer wishes to sell back. In the opinion of the directors the guaranteed buy back values will not be greater than the market values and therefore there should be no net liability to the company arising from this obligation.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
