Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Blick Rothenberg Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Following their review of the company's performance and financial position the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are approved. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The launch of the first product out of the company's new Blackbird technology platform the SignalTEK QT qualifier - was well received by the market.”
- “Trading strengthened materially again from September onwards, with a strong fourth quarter completing a visible recovery in both revenue and EBITDA trends as the year closed.”
- “2025 was characterised by a highly variable macroeconomic environment across the company's key markets. Following a strong first quarter, trading conditions were impacted by the April "Liberation Day" tariffs announcement, which created a more challenging backdrop through the summer months.”
- “Overall profitability has significantly increased for 2025 due to intercompany debtors being forgiven in full for 2024.”
- “Working capital was elevated during parts of the year, with inventory closing at £2.3m (2024: £2m), following a decision to increase selected component inventory in order to manage supply chain risk and pricing volatility. Inventory peaked mid-year before reducing in the final quarter.”

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
