“These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future despite the loss for the financial year of £2,219,430 and the balance sheet being in a net liability position at the year end of £3,221,692. However, during Q2 2025 Embed received capital contribution in cash for new shares of £5.2M. Embed used this cash to fully repay the loan payable to Littelfuse Netherlands B.V. As from that date Embed has positive equity, sufficient cash to pay all due payables as they come.”
Significant events
- “During Q2 2025 Embed received capital contribution in cash for new shares of £5.2M. Embed used this cash to fully repay the loan payable to Littelfuse Netherlands B.V. As from that date Embed has positive equity, sufficient cash to pay all due payables as they come.”
- “Embed has undertaken a comprehensive organisational restructure designed to enhance agility and position the business for sustained long-term growth. As part of this transformation, the company has strategically pivoted from its previous focus on the Automotive sector to a broader range of industries where its core capabilities are better aligned and can deliver greater value.”
- “Central to this evolution is the appointment of a new Managing Director, who brings fresh leadership and a renewed strategic vision to guide the business through its next phase of growth and diversification.”
