- 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 is transitioning from its long-established telecommunications products towards sensing products. Although sales of the latter were slower than anticipated for the year, progress has been made in extending the product range, which positions the business on a firmer footing for the future.”
