“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The company has secured the nomination of two new significant automotive contracts where it is required to fund the tooling manufacture and testing from design release through to successful production part approval. At the balance sheet date the company had incurred costs of £3.5m funded by a £3m short term bank loan. These costs will be recovered from the customers during the second half of 2026. Production supply for these contracts will commence in quarter one 2027 and will provide regular production revenue across a number of the company's processes to beyond 2032.”
- “The company's freehold properties were professionally revalued at £6.0m in December 2025.”

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
