Significant events
- “The principal activity of the company is the sale and distribution of projectors, flat panel displays, interactive flat panel displays, LED displays, screens, visualisers and related accessories.”
- “The competition is challenging as established suppliers try to increase market share in a projector market that is decreasing in size. Also, as technology improves there is a downward pressure on prices with a need to constantly evolve product ranges. The company is actively seeking new opportunities and has expanded into flat panel display solutions and value-added software.”
- “Fluctuations in foreign currency markets pose a risk for pricing of purchases and sales that could result in foreign exchange losses. Currency markets remained quite volatile during the year and all indications are that this trend will continue in 2025.”
- “Political unrest, changes and unsettled markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa continue to present problems and challenges. These conditions are likely to continue in 2025.”
- “At the time of reporting, the invasion of Ukraine has lasted just over three years. Many European countries, including the UK, have imposed sanctions on Russia and Belarus. After careful deliberation, the company has paused business activities in Russia and Belarus, to comply with sanctions and reduce credit and other risks.”
- “In addition, the conflict in the Middle East region poses significant challenges for supply chain networks globally.”
- “The current inflation and global economic uncertainties have caused many companies and consumers to be cautious on spending, with adverse impact on all sectors.”
- “The directors aim to maintain and advance the company's practices with a goal of surpassing the turnover levels achieved in 2024. With the ongoing shift towards solid state illumination (SSI) technology, we anticipate maintaining and enhancing margins through our diversified offering of high-specification products, particularly in the growing markets of Interactive Flat Panel Displays (IFPD) and Non-Interactive Flat Panel Displays (FP).”

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
