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

- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- Old Mill Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “An important milestone was achieved with the appointment of Pete Lambeth as Capability Director and a new role for John Foster as Strategy and Growth Director as well as seven Deputy Heads joining the Senior Management Team. These changes mark a pivotal moment for the company, positioning ETS for continued growth in its core defence and emerging energy sectors.”
- “In the prior year amounts totalling £3,800,000 were declared in the form of a distribution to ETSHL who then distributed to the EOT. In the current year £2,900,000 were declared in the form of a distribution to ETSHL who then distributed to the EOT in the year. These distributions are used by the EOT towards settling the purchase consideration for the shares in the company. The balance of the purchase consideration has now been settled post year end.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
