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 are confident that the company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, on the basis that the company remains a key part of group operations and continues to receive the support required from the parent company to enable it to trade.”
Significant events
- “Sales were lower than budget in the year mainly due to uncertainty in the markets driven by the UK Election, and the US election, along with continuing rising costs.”
- “Rising costs were again a concern through the year and the risk of these impacting orders, with some major customers reducing the number of their sites and so reducing their requirements for equipment resulting in fewer orders.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
