Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have received a letter of support from the parent company - Marelli Holdings Co., Ltd. noting its intentions to support the company to remain a going concern for a minimum of 12 months after the completion and sign-off of the financial statements. Therefore, they have prepared the financial statements of the company as of 31 December 2024, on a going concern basis, but there exists a material uncertainty which casts doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
