- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, as stated in the Business review, and therefore the going concern basis of accounting continues to be adopted in preparing the financial statements. The Company's financial forecasts for the period of going concern indicate that the Company has sufficient financial resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due during the period of assessment, considered to be at least twelve months from the signing date of these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In April 2024, the Company learned that it had not been successful in its rebid for the Dubai Air Navigation contract. Demobilisation of the contract was completed by the end of November 2024 and the loss of one month's revenue contributed to the decrease in revenue compared to 2023.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
