- Affirmed
“At 31 December 2024 the Company had net assets of £38,800,000 (2023: £31,109,000). At 31 December 2024 the Company had net current liabilities of £2,080,000 (2023: assets £6,915,000). The Directors have considered current and forecast liquidity and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report and the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Turnover predominantly consists of royalties received from other group companies in relation to the licensing of products developed by the Company. Operating profit has decreased by £13,282,000 to £6,227,000 (2023: £19,509,000) due to a reduction in sales within the foundry division of Vesuvius plc together with changes to group royalty agreements.”

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
