Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides in the operations and its financial resources, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”
Significant events
- “During 2025, after a review of the customer base being predominately in Middle East as described in note 4, the company's management made the decision to close the manufacturing component of this business and to partially transfer this to another affiliated company in the Baker Hughes group. The company will continue to retain a small team of engineers to operate its 'engineering business'.”

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
