Going concern
Affirmed

“The going concern period has been assessed as the period to 30th June 2027. The budget for 2026 has formed the basis of the going concern assessment for this period. The continuation of trade results from budget 2026 used for the assessment is deemed to be a prudent approach as sales volumes for 2027 are expected to be higher than in 2026 with overhead costs being at a slightly higher level and therefore increased profits and cash are expected. The financial results for the first quarter of 2026 show an increase in performance delivered compared to 2025. The total outlook for 2026 is an increase in operational profitability from 2025. The company has endured challenging conditions in the truck market in the past year. Due to a stable growth and high profitability of the comparably new van business as well as a constant income from the Customer Service Management business, the dependency on the truck business has reduced. Sensitivity testing was performed by reducing sales volumes across all areas of the business to establish the critical level of sales volume that would bring the company into a loss-making position. Reverse testing was also performed to the extreme of having no sales volume, in the improbable event of this happening our funds held on deposit, which are pooled funds held by our parent company that are readily available for drawdown, are predicted to increase sufficiently to cover our current fixed costs and cash commitments for well over a year. Due to the current financial performance of the company, outlook assessments and the stress testing completed, the directors deem the company to be a going a concern for the period to 30th June 2026.”
