- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “Provisions of £1,000,000 were made against inventories that can no longer be sold in the EU following changes in legislation.”
- “Costs of £800,000 were incurred in respect of an intellectual property dispute.”
- “Exceptional costs of £506,000 incurred related to the reliability of Lithium-ion back-up batteries in certain manufactured products.”
- “Lenders agreed to roll up elements of the Super senior term loan into the principal and reduced the covenant size from June 2024, providing additional funding of €14.0m for November 2024, May 2025 and November 2026.”

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
