- 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
- “The Zetes Group is reaping the results of its Collaborative Supply Chain strategy launched in response to the growing challenges facing companies confronted with increasingly stringent requirements of traceability, trade globalisation and e-commerce.”
- “In 2024/25, the Company continued with its aim to provide industry solutions aligned with the Group' strategy. The sales amounted to GBP £15 million in the year versus GBP £14 million last year. The total equity amounts to GBP 765,000”
- “In Goods ID, the 6 solutions-related strategy continues to attract more and more customers, while the recurring income component linked to it increases the division's visibility into the future.”
- “The postal and parcel delivery sector is continuing to invest, with Zetes offering a range of products that is winning more and more customers.”
- “Unique ID (serialisation of products) also remains a very promising area, under the pressure of increasingly demanding regulations.”
- “The ZetesAtlas solution has been implemented in various fields like pharmaceuticals, luxury goods and explosives. The generalisation of this obligation of per unit traceability opens up prospects for the coming years.”
- “In People ID, the current Build and Operate contracts are making a very significant contribution to sales and profitability.”
- “The Group is now turning to the future with a strategy that confirms its pertinence and which, under the umbrella of a global group, will probably give it significant new prospects for growth.”

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
