- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In conclusion, based on a review of the current state of the company coupled with its forecasts, after adequately considering downside risk, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has sufficient resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date that these financial statements have been approved.”
Significant events
- “Instead, upheaval in the market and a general inability of Tier 1 contractors to flex to the short term demand stalled the receipt of a number of previously communicated orders.”
- “Events such as in the war in the Ukraine and in Gaza, tariff wars, business failures in the company's supply chain, any new pandemic and disruptions to the supply chain have the potential to impact on the ability of the company to conduct its operations.”
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
