Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company continues to manage its daily working capital requirements without the need for bank loan or overdraft facilities, but has the support of Group companies. Management projections show that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The Company has received a letter of support from its parent undertaking CIMC Vehicles UK Limited confirming that it will provide financial support to the Company to enable it to meet its ongoing liabilities and carry on its commercial activities. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company's level of activity and the year end financial position were disappointing, mainly relating to shipping costs, increasing costs and change of sales mix.”
- “The Company generated a loss after tax for the year of £821,000 (2023: profit of £609,000).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
