Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on previous experience, the Directors are confident that these facilities will be renewed, or the Group will be able to provide additional financing and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “SATO Europe has made a strategic investment in MobileLogic, a software solutions company. This partnership provides all SATO subsidiaries with access to a new cloud-based platfonn, enabling us to deliver custom-built solutions to our customers more efficiently and cost-effectively.”
• “One such innovation is our new "packing bench" solution, designed for both e-commerce and food retail applications.”
• “The plan was subject to a buy-in transaction "the buy-in" on 11 January 2022 through the purchase of a buy-in policy with Aviva... This buy-in policy became the main asset of the Plan. Following a period of data cleanse and a further top-up payment, the group buy-in policy was replaced by individual buy-out policies in the name of each of the members in March 2023. Work is now ongoing to wind-up the Plan.”

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
