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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “The company has continued to make significant capital investments during the year on plant & machinery, premises, and on increasing the fully trained workforce. All these investments were undertaken in order to better service the increased demands of our customers, and in preparation for our next financial year and beyond.”
- “General economic uncertainty generated following the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union could cause market fluctuations, but the business has a strong financial base and strategic plans to manage and adapt to market uncertainties and the changes faced in the future.”
- “The company engaged in research and development activities during the financial period.”
- “The company will continue to invest in state of the art tools and software to enhance their development and skills within multi axis machining to continue growing its presence across the United Kingdom and Europe.”
