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
“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. 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 business has continued to invest heavily in infrastructure and new development. The initial plans for a new facility have continued. In parallel to this and extension to the current manufacturing facility has taken precedence in order to increase capacity to meet the growing demand for BCH products, and also the size and scale of capital projects that are being tendered for.”
- “The principal risks that the company faces are the ongoing risks associated with war and conflict, as well as shifts in political landscapes across the globe affecting raw material, commodity prices, import/export tariffs and exchange rates.”
