- Going concern
- Affirmed
“During the year, the company made a pre-tax profit of £491,000 (2024: £873,000). At the year-end, it had net current assets of £38,721,000, including cash of £38,732,000. Although there was a decline on prior year, in view of the strong balance sheet and continuing positive position shown in both the short-term forecasts and the medium-term business plan the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1 April 2025 the company completed the transfer of its Panasonic Connect activities to Panasonic Connect UK, a branch of Panasonic Connect Europe GmbH for a nominal consideration of £1.”
- “In December 2024, the company unveiled Europe's first Panasonic HX renewable energy demonstration facility. The project integrates hydrogen fuel cells, solar PV, and battery storage-managed by Panasonic's proprietary Energy Management System-with the intention to power microwave oven production using 100% renewable energy.”

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
