Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. The directors have considered the period of 12 months following approval of the financial statements. They have not identified any material uncertainties that could cast doubt on the ability of the company to meet all of its financial obligations as they fall due.”

Significant events

• “Our current Wolverhampton Cupra site has been added to with our Stoke site and both businesses have had extensive upgrades in CI and are now full Cupra garages.”
• “The Company faces a number of risks and uncertainties that may have an impact on its operation or future performance.”
• “Changing UK conditions such as consumer confidence, the level of discretionary spending, interest rates, inflation and fuel prices could adversely affect the Company's trading, financial position and prospects.”
• “The UK Government may take action in relation to VAT, the taxation of engine emissions, road usage or fuel for vehicles or introduce new green taxes.”
• “The company is pursuing a number of projects to improve emissions, including investment in new, more efficient equipment and the use of electric vehicles where possible. This is in addition to improving the efficiency of its offices and showrooms by procuring renewable energy only tariffs and installing more efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.”

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
