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

- 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.”
Significant events
- “During the reporting period, the anticipated reduction in revenue materialised, reflecting the broader economic trends. Market demand experienced a slight softening due to ongoing global economic uncertainty, which influenced purchasing decisions.”
- “Despite these challenges, we are optimistic about the future. We forecast a return to profitability in 2025, supported by a robust backlog of systems orders, many of which are scheduled to commence in late 2025/early 2026.”
- “Looking ahead, 2025 is forecasted to mark a return to profitability and an increase in turnover levels that align with typical business expectations. We have secured numerous systems projects set to commence in early 2025 and continue to 2026, which will significantly contribute to our growth.”
