- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its ultimate parent company Morgan Advanced Materials plc, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Morgan Advanced Materials plc has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as needed by the company for the period covered by the forecasts.”
Significant events
- “The Company's order intake saw deterioration in the latter half of the year which was in line with what the wider industry experienced, the Company expects to see this stabilise and improve in 2025”
- “No contributions were made in 2024 due to the scheme remaining in a surplus position”
- “The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Middle East and trade uncertainty in the USA do not affect our energy priorities.”

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
