Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The business has seen a decrease in trading compared to prior year's performance. Turnover has decreased by £1.2m year on year equating to a £83k reduction in profitability. Margins are under pressure which have resulted in a year on year drop of 1%.”
• “Constraints in the economy with inflation at a record high and interest rates continuing to rise have been a contributing factor in slowing the market. New car supply has eased, and we are seeing a more positive approach, but finance campaigns are becoming increasingly difficult to incentivise a consumer change. The commitments in the motorsport sector have assisted with revenue into the business.”

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
