- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“It has been identified that the company may need additional investment to meet liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months. Without the investment there may be material uncertainty in respect of going concern. The directors, however, are confident that they will be able to obtain additional financing, due to current negotiation, and thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Turnover of the group for the year ended 31 December 2024 was £9,140,000 compared to £7,421,000 for the previous period of 31 December 2023. The turnover increase is a result of increasing the customer base as we are able to deliver our product to new businesses. The Trendscope business continued to develop well, with recurring licence revenues growing over the year. Losses after tax for the current year were £2,815,000 compared to a £7,373,000 for the previous year. The continuing loss is attributed to investment in building the sales and marketing team, developing the Trendscope platform and making further C-level strategic hires.”
