- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern, the directors have considered the cash position of the company, the forecast profit from existing operations and, after making enquiries, have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future or at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Turnover decreased from £197.9m in 2023 to £151.7m for 2024, mostly due to the termination of the ESN project (revenue £7m in 2024 vs £68m in 2023).”
- “Operating result increased from a £6.6m loss in 2023 to a £10.5m profit in 2024, driven by increased other operating income, R&D recharges to parent company, foreign exchange gains of £1.2m (2023: £6.2m loss), and a reversal of a 2023 bad debt provision of £5.1m.”
- “Profit before tax increased from £0.4m in 2023 to £16.1m in 2024.”
- “Net assets of the company increased to £210.5m at 31 December 2024 (2023: £158.5m).”

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
