Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“As at 31 December 2024, the Group had net assets of £144 million, including net cash and investments of £59 million. A strong order book and long-term supply contracts underpin forecasts for 2026. The directors regularly review working capital requirements and financial resilience, supported by detailed forecasts across a range of positive and negative scenarios. These take into account the ongoing consequences of global conflicts, rising costs, global tariffs, increased competition, labour shortages, loss of key customers, and other relevant events and conditions. In all scenarios the Group has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and accordingly the directors have prepared the financial statements on this basis.”

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
