Going concern
Affirmed

“The company has net liabilities of £15,597,000 (2023: £14,634,000). This is due to the company's capital requirements being met through the Adient plc group cash pool debt £1,800,000 (2023: £3,270,000) and bank overdraft of £41,223,000 (2023: £40,574,000), which is secured by way of a guarantee from the ultimate parent company. Furthermore, the directors have received confirmation from the Adient Group that it will support the company if necessary for at least one year after the financial statements are signed. With this support in place, covering the period of twelve months since the date of the signature of the Financial Statements and after assessing the Group's ability to to provide the support if required, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors therefore consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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
