“The Director has reviewed forecasts and received a letter of support from the parent company Eppendorf SE covering a period of twelve months from the approval of these financial statements and confirming the intercompany creditor will not be demanded until the Company is in a position to settle. The Director is satisfied that the Company will continue to operate and meet its liabilities. The Director is satisfied that the Company is a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Operating profit in 2024 decreased to £301,849 (2023: £503,798) due to market saturation and decline in demand for ultra-low temperature freezers after effects of Covid-19 and increased demand in 2023.”
- “The company continues to invest heavily in the development of its existing products and new products to meet future customer requirements.”

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
