- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe, after a successful financial year, with a focus on building customer relations, sealing potential orders for the foreseeable future and the existing service contract customer base, the future potential is very promising and on target to meet the projected sales forecast in the coming years. The company has adequate financial resources to hand and has shown to manage costs and drive margins. The directors have prepared forecasts up to June 2026 and any uncertainty in the economic environment together with any possible downsides to the forecast. Notwithstanding any downsides to the forecast, the cash position is healthy, and there is sufficient cash to meet costs in excess of two years from the Balance Sheet date. Taking into account factors such as the long-term service contracts, the uptick activity in the market, current trading and access to cash within the business, this has resulted in the directors adopting the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There have been no significant events affecting the company since the year end.”

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
