- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has a strong balance sheet, strong forward order book and no major issues are foreseen. The implications of Russia's war against Ukraine, the Israeli/Gaza conflict and the high inflation rates have been considered and the measures we have taken to mitigate its impact have and are still looking very positive due to the company's core business being in the defence, security and space market, sales were and are unaffected by both. Hence we are well placed for the future.”

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
