- Auditor
- PKF Francis Clark
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company continues to make good profits and has a healthy balance sheet and reasonable cash reserves. Therefore, the directors are satisfied that the company remains a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The Duell acquisition in March 2023 continues to give us access to new brands and a wealth of experience in the motorcycle sector going forward.”
- “Economic Challenges: We have concerns about the UK's high interest and inflation rates. These can have a cascading effect on consumer spending, borrowing, and overall economic health.”
- “Overstocked Dealer Network: A major concern highlighted is the overstocking within the motorcycle clothing dealer network. Overstocking can tie up capital and lead to price reductions, potentially eroding profit margins.”
- “High inventory levels: Due to the amount of late deliveries from our suppliers we have missed many months of sales whilst still having to take the initial amount of stock ordered which has lead to high inventory levels.”
- “New Motorcycle Registration Figures: We have noticed a stagnation and downturn of the amount of new motorcycles being registered in the UK.”
- “Diversification: In the face of economic uncertainty, diversifying product offerings or exploring new markets can be a way to hedge against potential downturns so therefore we are increasing our portfolio of brands.”
- “Increase in brands: We will be adding a number of house brands from Duell.”

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
