Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Considering all the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial and other resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Revenue and profit are both increased due to higher demand for new transmissions and a reduction in backlog as supply chain challenges have eased.”
- “During 2024 we had 2 recordable injuries at the site (2023-3), 9.65 average days of absence (2023 - 5.3) and an average of 12.3 years of service (2023 - 12).”
- “The company continues to feel the impact of cost pressures associated with increased commodity and utility prices together with supply chain challenges causing a lack of availability of some key components.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
