“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events

- “All sectors of our business are showing signs of growth with increased demand of circa 30%-40% over the next 2-3 years particularly in the Civil aviation and industrial gas turbines sectors.”
- “Our sales orderbook value for 2025,2026 and 2027 already surpasses 2024 sales. Plans to invest in people and equipment are in place to support this growth.”
- “A 120KW solar system has helped contain energy costs but additional investment in energy efficient equipment is necessary to drive towards net zero.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
