- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Our revenue in 2024 increased to £12.1m (2023 £10.3m) which included several new equipment delivery contracts, continuation of our major UK electro-optic research programme, product sales and sub-contract machining.”
- “Overseas sales as a proportion of total sales increased significantly from 18.5% 2023 to 56.8% 2024, as awareness of our standard products and bespoke solutions increased across the Five Eyes community and UK friendly nations.”
- “Since the year-end new equipment supply contracts have been signed, and we are particularly pleased to report that some of this is repeat business following equipment delivered in 2024.”

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
