Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The company is financed by its own working capital. Having taken into account the continued financial performance experienced to date together with forecast revenues, the company's ongoing operational expenditure, and the likely capital additions and likely capital repayments, the company's directors have concluded that it is appropriate that these financial statements are prepared and presented using the going concern principle.”

Significant events

• “The reduction in revenue was principally due to the loss of renewal business, as the Company was not awarded the replacement contracts associated with a key customer's model change at the end of the first quarter of 2024.”

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
