Affirmed

“The Company made a net profit of £2,628,681 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and as of this date, the Company was in a net current asset position of £18,838,545 (2023: £16,203,570). The major customers are parliaments and government authorities who contribute a significant proportion of the Company's revenue. As at 31 December 2024, some of the existing contracts for these customers are due to expire within the next year, subject to renewal. However, these contracts due to expire are not sufficiently material that their potential loss would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has obtained a letter of support from NEP Group Holdings, Inc., committing to provide financial support to the Company should this be necessary for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The Directors have carried out an assessment over NEP Group Holdings, Inc, and are satisfied that it has the ability and intention to be able to provide the support. The Directors have also assessed the forecasts of the Company and have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
