- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. We have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “2025 was a year of restructuring for Caetano UK, with the company continued to deliver Levante coaches for the tourist segment under the contract with National Express, although it is currently undergoing a restructuring process and aligning its operations with its market strategy for the coming years, and, as such, proceeded in October 2025 to cancel 60% of the orders initially planned.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
