- 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
- “The company introduced the new product line, endoscopy, in 2024, which is a different business for Penlon. It had its first complete year in 2024 with breakthrough in key hospital accounts and submission of the Endoscopy framework.”
- “The new ERP system implemented a year ago improved data transparency and decision-making.”
- “Cost reduction will be a key target in 2025 due to complexity of material verification in 2024.”
- “Management aims to strengthen the new endoscopy business and secure R&D for next-generation anaesthesia machines.”
- “The Company continues to invest in research and development activities and is working with the Medcaptain R&D team to develop next-generation products and optimize its current product range.”

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
