- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “In the last days of the year the company's parent, JST Ports & Logistics Holding Ltd, completed the acquisition of RFS Works Ltd. This acquisition gives the Group a leading position in the asset-based port and rail-handling sectors in the UK and will enable to Company to further enhance its market position in future years.”
