Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements after assessing the principal risks and considering the impact of various downside scenarios to the Company's base case financial plans, including latest sales expectations and profit margins for the period to June 2026. The Board expects the Company to have sufficient financial and other resources to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future, but in reaching that conclusion the Board has undertaken a series of sensitivity analyses based on the Company not achieving its base case sales forecast. Reverse stress testing suggests that, absent specific actions to reduce costs, working capital and capital expenditure, the Group may need to seek further funding only if revenues fell by more than 25% compared to forecast. Given trading momentum this financial year has so far continued to be strong, the Board considers this scenario to be unlikely.”

Significant events

• “In December 2024 we announced we had won additional work with a major European aircraft manufacturer to coat parts for freight aircraft. As expected, the initial tooling and development work added materially to sales revenue in FY25. Production volumes are expected to begin in FY26 and, based on the customer's anticipated build rates, this could lead to production revenues in the range of circa £8m over the expected 10-year time frame of the contract.”
• “The work won in 2023 with the same customer to coat parts used in commercial passenger aircraft has continued to progress well and should also enable a stable base load of volume work to continue for a number of years.”

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
