- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the balance sheet date the company had a significant cash balance and strong net current asset position. At the time of signing these accounts, the directors have considered the company's going concern position, and consider that this does indicate that the company will continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts.”
Significant events
- “The year has been one of consolidation for the company after the significant developments in 23/24. The contract that caused us to incur an exceptional loss of £1.06m last year has now been completed and is a technical success.”

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
