“The company made a profit for the year of £543,633 and at the year end had net current assets of £3,711,551. Post year end management accounts show continued profitability. Based on the strength of the balance sheet and continuing profitability, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events

- “In April 2026, as a consequence of the owners reorganising their shareholdings, the company became a subsidiary of a UK registered company, Laser Impex Limited.

Associated with this reorganisation, the company paid dividends of £2.4m to its parent.”
