- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, 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 for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The motorhome market had started to slow down towards the end of 2024 and retail volumes were reducing. Volume estimations were reduced by 20% and our strategy was adapted to enable continued business performance. Globally the economic climate was changing, inflation was on the rise and interest rates increased.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
