Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Lindeyer Francis Ferguson Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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
- “With the UK economy entering into recession and a corresponding downturn in construction activities in late 2023 and early 2024, the business suffered a relatively slow first half of the financial year. Our fortunes changed in the second half of the year, with the UK market rebounding and the commencement of a key long-term overseas project and the business ended up recording record revenues of close to £12m for the year to 30 September 2024, a 10.6% increase on 2023.”
- “The business has continued to invest and completed the £1m re-development of the St Florian premises, improving the flow of manufacturing at the site and increasing business capacity by 40%, ensuring that the business has the infrastructure needed to continue at its Crowborough site for the foreseeable future.”
- “2025 will see the launch of the new OmniCALL EVC range, with further product developments in progress and anticipated for release in 2026 and 2027.”

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
