Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“On 4 September 2025, the Company's ultimate controlling party, Hexagon AB, announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Design & Engineering division ("D&E"), which includes the Company, with the transaction being expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. As a result, it is not possible for the directors of the Company to predict the intention of the purchasers with regards to future plans, startegy and funding. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 1.2 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
