Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

“The directors have prepared monthly cash flow forecasts for 2025 and then yearly forecasts from 2026 until 2028 and stress tested these for reasonably possible alternative scenarios as well as considering severe or worst case positions. The company sells into various markets and the directors have considered potential impacts from a sustained loss in demand from these markets. Visibility of projects within our core cables business supports the underlying profitability of our business. In addition continued raw material cost increases have been considered and the ability to maintain margins evaluated in light of these. These scenarios show the business will remain profitable and the company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Based on the above, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
