- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After due enquiry, the board has judged the cash flow forecasts, asset financing and banking resources of the company to be adequate to support its continued operations for the foreseeable future and has adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Furthermore, although at the balance sheet date the company had net current liabilities of £3,702,000 (2024: £1,855,000), the ultimate parent company has confirmed its intention to provide such support as the company may require for a period of not less than one year from the date the financial statements were approved. Therefore the directors believe that it is appropriate to assume that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and can prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “A major refurbishment of the facilities at this depot, at a projected cost of more than £3 million, was commenced in the accounting period and is expected to be completed in summer 2025.”
