- Audit opinion
- Qualified
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Due to abnormally high value orders in 2023 and a pivot in business strategy, the core business has reduced in 2024.”
- “During 2024, we have continued to provide our customers with effective solutions across a broad spectrum of conveyor and service projects. We have developed strategic relationships with our key customers which has consolidated our core business model and is primed to generate a return to growth.”

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
