- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”

Significant events
- “Sales activity within the UK and Europe increased by 8% (2023: 0.4% decrease).”
- “The Board has taken a number of decisions to reduce carbon emissions, regarding use of remote conferencing technology, manufacturing processes, composition of the fleet and fit out of premises.”
- “On 1 January 2024 the NHS Provider Selection Regime came into force whereby the NHS is allowed to direct award contracts, which partially mitigates the principal risk related to reliance on UK NHS contracts.”
- “An impairment loss of £37,000 (2023: £124,000) on raw materials and finished goods was recognised in the profit and loss account.”

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
