Financial Outlook

Both the Motor Division and Parts Division have made a good start to the year. We have continued to outperform the new car market and our used car performance continues to be strong.

Furthermore we have a healthy new car order book for March and aftersales continue to perform well with the result that the Motor Division is ahead of both budget and prior year. Moreover the independent parts division is again showing further year on year progress and is in line with budget. We therefore expect the result for the first quarter to be ahead of both budget and last year.
