- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors, believe that there is no material uncertainty that exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or its ability to continue with the current distributor agreements, thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The outbreak of war in Ukraine in the first half of 2022 is still unpredictable in terms of future developments representing a major threat to the control of inflation and the related consequences for the economy not the least the demand for vehicles. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In 2025, the Stellantis Group announced the closure of the Luton manufacturing plant (IBC Motors Limited) with the transfer of production and activity to the Ellesmere Port site. This will secure a long term, sustainable future for manufacturing in the UK, with additional investment at the Ellesmere Port site to accommodate a new all electric vehicle launch.”
