Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The wider economic climate has been severely impacted by the cost of raw materials and energy and increases the overall risk to financial liquidity. However, management have assessed the Company's exposure to this increased risk level and have come to the conclusion that adequate controls and mitigation plans are in place. Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least one year from the date that the financial statements are signed. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “We have exceeded our plan to reduce the carbon footprint of our fleet. We targeted 25% being zero emissions by end of 2023 but to date have achieved 33% and have further plans to continue decarbonising. There are large solar arrays on our Cowley and Horspath Depot roofs and along with the energy used from our utilities supplier, c. 60% of our electricity usage is from sustainable sources.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
