“Whilst the company has net current liabilities of £130,137,000 this is driven by the classification of the long-term loan due to Meritor Arvin Finance Ireland Limited (hereafter AFI) as due within one year owing to the existence of a call option enabling AFI to call the loan annually in August each year. The directors have received confirmation from AFI that the call option will not be exercised in August 2024. In addition the company has received a letter of support from AFI who have guaranteed the company £50k to meet its day to day working capital requirements for a period of at least twelve months from signing the 2024 financial statements. The directors deem this amount to be sufficient to cover the company's financial obligations and legacy warranty commitments in this period and have assessed AFI to have sufficient resources to provide this support. In addition, the company is part of the wider Cummins Inc. group. The directors have concluded that the company has sufficient resources to continue to pay amounts due for at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements and meet any liabilities as they fall due.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
