“As at 31 December 2024 the group had net current assets of £21,020,501 (2023: £15,496,864), net assets of £23,300,279 (2023: £18,167,503) and cash at bank and in hand of £6,983,947 (2023: £3,544,092). The directors have considered the cash flow forecasts for 12 months from the date of this report. The group has the continued support via a loan from parent undertakings to support the growth plans of the business. The group has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company, Parts Town Unlimited, LLC to confirm the commitment to support the company and the availability of sufficient funding to settle any liabilities as they fall due to the extent First Choice Catering Spares Limited and now Parts Town UK Limited is not otherwise able to meet such liabilities. After making enquiries and taking account of the factors noted above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the date of this report. The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the annual report and financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
