- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on this, the directors have a reasonable expectation that Magna has the liquidity to ensure that the Company has adequate funds to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a minimum of 12 months after the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The cyber attack at Jaguar Land Rover in August 2025 caused the production activities of the Company to pause. The impact and duration are currently unknown. Magna group are aware of the situation and continuing to support the Company.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
