- Audit opinion
- Qualified
- 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 group's and parent 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.”
Subsidiaries
- CKO International Limited · 100% held · England and Wales
Significant events
- “The market has shown volatility due to geopolitical risks, with the continuing conflict in Eastern Europe, the very early stages of a cessation of hostilities in the Middle East, along with a new party in UK government. The market conditions have triggered our customers to be cautious with their capital expenditure for new vehicles, having a consequential effect of reducing the demand for new safety and security products and the associated installation services.”
- “The group continues to invest in product development to support substantial future sales opportunities in the UK and abroad.”
