Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Armstrong Watson Audit Limited
- 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. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Airport Systems continues to make significant strides in enacting its strategy to focus the business on its core competencies. The transformation of Airport Systems is ongoing, with a number of our software products now uplifted onto new technology and actively being deployed to customers. This transformation reflects our commitment to innovation and adaptability in meeting customer needs.”
- “Macroeconomic factors such as the threat of a future global pandemic, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the political situation between China and many Western governments pose risks to the business if they were to materialise or escalate further.”
- “The speed of developments seen in Al presents both an opportunity and a threat. Airport Systems are investing in developing Al and machine learning capabilities, and these are already being built into our products to help customers maximise their efficiency, safety, and sustainability goals.”
- “The parent company has provided a letter of support confirming its commitment to providing financial support to the company for at least the next 12 months.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
