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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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 group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern”

Significant events

• “Turnover fell in the year by £537,500, or 10.3%, to £4.7m, due to the effect of a decrease in software and hardware sales.”
• “The group continues to invest substantially in new and innovative products, and the directors are confident that the group is well placed to take advantage of the opportunities expected to arise in the computer-telephony market.”
• “Research and development is essential to the group's long-term success and, during the year, £1.1m (2023: £0.77m) was spent in this area.”
