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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared a going concern assessment based on the Group's medium-term strategic plan through to December 2029, supported by a detailed forecast covering the period to December 2027. The forecast incorporates growth assumptions relating to two significant contracts secured during 2025. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Orders have increased by 6% (2024: decreased by 25%) due to successful onboarding of Bupa, which resulted in handset purchases in excess of £1m. This represented a significant milestone for the business and a key contributor to order intake during the year. This initial deployment is expected to act as a foundation for further expansion, with the potential for a broader rollout across additional nursing homes within the UK.”
- “Wales Critical Care Clinical Information Systems and Services (WICIS) has been delayed due to the project being on hold by the Welsh local authorities.”
- “In August 2024, an internal restructure was implemented as a strategic initiative aimed at driving operational efficiencies and optimizing cost structures.”
