Going concern

Affirmed

“After making due enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report. Given this the financial statements of the company have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “During the year we commenced operations with Omoda/Jaecoo, a Chinese OEM which offers a combination of BEV's (Battery Electric Vehicles), PHEV's (Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. Initial trading is positive and the outlook looks even better.”
• “A number of factors conspired to make the year extremely challenging. At the macro level we had international conflicts, financial uncertainty, inflationary cost pressures and cost of living concerns. We also had a weak new car market as manufacturers tried to grapple with the Government's ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicles) mandate and VETS (Vehicle Emissions Trading Scheme) targets.”

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
