- 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 loss of the Aston Martin franchise is a principal risk.”
- “Bank of England base interest rates are seemingly stable but an increase could cause uncertainty in economic markets.”
- “As we approach the move to zero emissions, demand has continued to be strong for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles but we are exposed to any further changes in legislation that may penalise ICE vehicles.”
- “Future expenditure to satisfy Aston Martin's franchise requirements for workshop remodelling and refurbishment is currently being evaluated.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
