Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “On 1 January 2025, convergence and integration of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries QAI Services Limited and Shore Engineering Limited took place to develop the business.”

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
