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
“At the time of signing these accounts, the director has considered the effect of the current economic climate on the going concern position. They consider that this does indicate that the company will continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts due to the banking facilities available to it, and the healthy sales pipeline in place.”
Significant events
- “The last year of trading has been challenging due to the general economic conditions. However, with the innovative products, strict control over costs and financial reporting procedures which also monitor key performance indicators, the company is well positioned to be able to manage these risks.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
