- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.”
Significant events
- “At the start of 2024-25, Honda Racing Corporation Japan started establishing operations for Honda Racing Corporation UK Limited (HRC-UK). As a result of the change HRE-UK had a lower number of Associates as compared to 2023-24. This was one of the main reasons for the increase in HRE-UK revenue from £5,221k in 2023-24 to £5,732k in 2024-25, along with the increase in revenue due to enhanced Technical Cost Budget.”
- “As a Research and Development organisation, HRE-UK commits to spend its budgeted amount on R&D Activities every year. In 2024-25, associates have put an even further focus compared to 2023-24, due to Honda’s’ mobility, better business management and certainty.”

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
