Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- KJA Kilner Johnson Ltd
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “The company continued to expand and grow in both haulage and warehousing, resulting in an increase in turnover of 18.6% from the previous year. Post year end the company has continued to increase the size of its fleet and focus on profitable growth, which is expected to continue for the oncoming year and offset an expected increase in costs.”
- “Since the year end, the company has seen positive results and anticipates similar trading levels in the oncoming year.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
