So, assumption I is not implicit.

While the company may need more staff to expand at this particular moment, it doesn't rule out other methods for business growth, such as investing in infrastructure, improving processes, etc.
So, assumption II is also not implicit.

Neither of the assumptions (I and II) is required or implied by the statement.
Neither assumption I nor II is implicit.
