Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “Due to the restructuring of the VW Group's distribution networks across the UK, the dealership relationship between Howard Abraham (Motors) Limited and Skoda ceased operation at 31 October 2025. Historically Skoda has contributed to 45% of the company's new car sales. Whilst the absence of the Skoda brand from the company's portfolio is disappointing, the directors are embarking on new initiatives which they believe will in many ways mitigate the loss of new Skoda car sales.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
