- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The group continues to develop and launch its range of market leading products and solutions and invested £1,117,896 (2023 period: £379,091) into development projects, representing 27% of gross profit (2023 period: 8%).”
- “Following a four-year investment phase to develop a broad and robust product portfolio and advance the group's positioning in expanding markets, the group is now well positioned to realise strong growth and to capitalise on opportunities.”
- “The group is in late-stage development of its very own remote workstation platform, which is due to launch next fiscal year.”
