- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having reviewed cash flow forecasts to June 2026, the directors do not believe that there are material uncertainties which cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. For that reason, the directors consider the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “On 10 March 2025, the company's ultimate parent undertaking, Endcliffe Holdings Limited, was acquired by Assa Abloy Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. From the point of acquisition, Assa Abloy AB, a company incorporated in Sweden, became the ultimate parent undertaking.”
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
