- 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
- “During the period the company has seen a reduction in sales due to the end of some key customer programs and has seen an overall decline in the size and activity of the business. The company has undergone a cost reduction exercise as a result and reduced headcount through redundancies made in the current period and restructuring departments to reduce overhead costs. The directors initiated a restructuring plan in September 2024, which included making a number of redundancies.”

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
