Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- B M Howarth Ltd
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The ultimate parent company has confirmed that it will continue to support the company and if necessary will provide further funding to ensure that the company can continue to meet its-financial obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Turnover in 2024 has increased by approx 3% from the previous year which shows the ongoing recovery within the market. Forecast turnover for 2025 is also showing a positive trend upwards of a further 5%. Whilst losses in 2024 showed little improvement from the previous year the focus going forward has been to understand and control these costs. There has been a significant shift in 2024 compared with 2023 in terms of cost controls and profitability.”
- “The company continues to invest in research and development. This has resulted in a number of updates to existing products. The directors regard research and development investment as necessary for success in the medium to long term future.”

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
