Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors of the business have reviewed the Company's detailed forecast cash flows for the forthcoming 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. These cash flow forecasts and re-forecasts are prepared regularly as part of the business planning process. These have been subjected to stress testing, scenario modelling and sensitivity analysis, which the directors consider sufficiently robust. In each scenario, the Company continues to have sufficient cash available to meet its working capital requirements via inventory floorplan financing and revolving credit facility. SMT Holding SA have provided a loan facility to support the Company with acquisitions that they will not call upon for 12 months from date of signing. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

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. 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
