- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024/25 was 18 months of progress after a challenging 2023, with the business delivering a pre-tax profit of £65k. Turnover was up to just over £36 million due to us producing an 18 month accounts period due to the manufacturer being slow to pay new car vehicle bonuses. The current reporting period has been extended to 18 months.”
- “ZEV mandate targets offer a significant challenge to hitting new car targets, as achieving a mix of 20% Battery Electric Vehicles in what we sell if above the latent customer demand for BEV vehicles but if we do not achieve it, it significantly impacts our new vehicle earnings.”
- “Used vehicle prices can decline significantly, however with demand high and short supply we are confident with good stock purchasing and management we can minimise the risk and write-downs needed in the value of used car stock.”
