“The Company, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements, which has been applied consistently throughout the year.”
Significant events
- “Business, during the year on a like-for-like basis, slightly decreased compared to the previous year as a result of the unfavourable market conditions and the persisting consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine and geo-political trade wars.”
- “Thanks to the launch of the Torque Flex range, the 2025 sales forecast could be maintained on a reasonable level, though not as high as expected, while it is anticipated to become positive and stable for 2026.”
- “The first pilot sales of Smart Torque Wrenches were planned before the end of the 2022 fourth quarter, but actually took place in 2023 helping to sustain the current significant increase in sales volumes.”
- “2025 saw further improvements with regard to management reporting, the introduction of standard KPIs, the introduction of Lean manufacturing with focused areas on stock control, barcode scanning, the flow process through the facility, and the improvement of the 7S process.”
- “The Company structure's completed change to a pure Product Company will speed up the growth and carry a likely increase of +10% in 2026, reaching around 10.5 M£ of sales.”

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
