Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Detailed management reporting, budgeting and forecasting undertaken by the company as well as an increasingly strong balance sheet indicate that in the directors' opinion the going concern basis of the preparation of the accounts is appropriate. Cash reserves have increased month on month since the year end, standing at in excess of £3.5m as at the date of signature of these accounts.”

Significant events

• “As a consequence, the group's turnover in the year fell 9% to £18.5m (2024 £20.6m) and generated a small loss before non-continuing costs of £0.4m (2024 profit £0.2m), largely impacted due to the aforementioned overseas challenges.”
• “Since the year-end the business has adopted a medium-term FX hedging strategy in respect of the US Dollar, which is the principal currency for the majority of sales.”

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
