Audit & accounting basis

- 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
- “In 2023 the Company's accounting period end was changed from 30th June to 31st December, to align with the MedCap AB publ group reporting period.”
- “The period saw very strong sales, with particularly high demand from the Company's largest customer, although there was some slow down in demand towards the end of the year.”
- “During 2024 a new permanent Managing Director was sought, to replace Peter Appleton, who had held the position on an interim basis since August 2023. Adam Black was appointed as the new permanent Managing Director with effect from January 2025.”
