The Company has a strong balance sheet with closing net current assets of £39,143,000 (2024: £35,061,000) and a diversified mix of profitable long-term programs. Having taken all of the above factors into consideration, the Directors have reached a conclusion that the Company is able to manage its business risks. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

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
