- 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

Acoustic Polymers Limited, a manufacturer of specialist polymeric materials, was acquired in September 2023 and is now an integral part of the Tiflex Business unit.”
- “To this end a £1m order was received in January for a new testing facility to be set up at APL for their largest customer. This is due to go live in August 2026 on an initial 2 year contract.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
