Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Despite the Company having net current liabilities at the balance sheet date the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue to operate in the foreseeable future, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing and approving these financial statements, the Company holds a letter of support from it's parent Sytner Group Limited to provide adequate resources to allow the Company to fulfil all obligations and commitments should support be required. This being the case the Directors consider that there are no material uncertainties and continue to adopt the going concern assumption in the preparation of the financial statements.”

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
