Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next twelve months. The Value of the Company's finance lease receivables are £345m after making expected credit loss provisions. The amount due on loans to entities outside the Grenke AG Group and to SPV's net of subordinated loans is £211m. The proceeds from finance lease receivables will be realised earlier than the loans and debt securities and therefore the Company will be able to meet its debt obligations to entities outside the Grenke AG Group as they fall due. Loans due to group companies of £87m are payable within one year and these loans will need to be replaced with new loans from group companies. The Grenke AG Group has informed management that it will replace the group loans with new loans. Accordingly, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
