- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “On 8th April 2024 Moss Motors USA, Moss Europe, and Rimmer Bros joined forces, in partnership. This powerful alliance signifies our unwavering commitment to supporting the passion for keeping legendary vehicles on the road.”
- “The Company continues to serve the classic car spares market, investing in revised cataloguing to showcase our extensive product range, new product introductions and/or product reintroductions.”
- “The Company considers the proliferation of British 4x4 and SUV ownership an opportunity to diversify, and continues to invest and develop in this area.”
- “During the year, RSM UK Audit LLP resigned and Crowe UK LLP were appointed auditors in its place.”
- “During the period, the company shortened it's year end. As a result these financial statements are drawn up for the 7 month period to 31 December 2024, whilst the comparative amounts are for the 12 month period to 31 May 2024.”
