- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Elcom continued to produce strong financial performance with turnover in line with the prior year at £8,674,040 (2023: £7,537,923). As a result of a continued focus on efficiency operating profit was also up substantially to £1,772,634 (2023: £390,499). This is also reflected in a notable increase in EBITDA to £1,936,540 (2023: £903,304).”
- “The retention of existing customers remains of vital importance to both short term revenue and long term value protection. Therefore, it was encouraging that the Company has generally maintained its high level of renewals, particularly in the current economic climate.”

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
