Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The global economic and political situation will have an impact in the next year. However, we operate in one of the essential industries and have not been critically impacted by the global economic situation and the global conflicts. The company has a strong order backlog and sufficient chassis to operate at normal production levels. Based upon the company's forecasts, and after considering plausible downside scenarios that could impact the company alongside the mitigating measures available, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to meet its obligations and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these 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
