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 & accounting basis

- Auditor
- James Cowper Kreston Audit
- 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.”
Significant events
- “During the last few months of the FY a number of longer term customer projects have come to fruition, which has made a big impact on the start of FY26, giving a significant upturn in business. These projects cover a mix of markets and technologies, but two larger areas are high voltage grids, and test & measurement for data centres. In addition a further aerospace development contract was signed at the start of FY26.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
