Principal risks and uncertainties
National and regional economic conditions
The haulage industry is very sensitive to the volatility of the general economic climate, and business activity in general.
Fuel prices
The company is sensitive to movements in fuel prices, as this represents a high proportion of operating costs, and prices are volatile.
Bad debts
The company is at risk from bad debts as it is customary to offer credit terms to customers.

Statement of Director's Responsibilities
Company law requires the
director
to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the
director has
elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the
director
must not approve the financial statements unless
she is
satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the
director is
required to:
•
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
•
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
; and
•
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The
director is
responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable
her
to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
She is
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
