- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has prepared forecasts which extend through to 31 May 2026. The ability of the company to access its cash deposits in the European Cash Pool throughout the going concern period to 31 May 2026 from the date of approval of these financial statements has been confirmed by the ultimate parent company, Lear Corporation, who in the unlikely event that this is not possible have further confirmed in writing their commitment to provide alternative financial support to assist the company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due during the going concern period. As a result of the above, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, continues to create significant uncertainty regarding the global economic outlook due to its highly volatile nature.”
- “Additionally, the recent onset of conflict in the Middle East has not yet significantly disrupted supply chains or heightened economic uncertainty.”
- “Furthermore, the introduction of new U.S. tariffs is expected to have a substantial impact on global trade and economic conditions.”
- “Principal decisions have been focused on reacting to the volatile economic climate, including the continuation of Russia's war against Ukraine and ongoing Middle East conflict.”

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
