- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 financial year was an unusual and difficult year in that there were elections across the world with the most important to our business being here in the UK and of course the USA and the likely changes to economic policies.”
- “Our systems integration business saw a reduction in turnover from £9,778,757 in 2023 to £6,551,603 in 2024. This division had benefitted since 2021 by a significant UK and European contract valued at £5.6 million across those four years. The final part of that contract in 2024 amounted to £295,083 whereas 2023 benefitted by £1,890,482.”
- “Following the July UK general election there was an expectation of a bruising budget to be held on 30th October which caused concern to all business sectors and this was noticeable in our System Integration division by delays in Capital Expenditure. It is difficult to fully quantify the impact on the industry in general but we are able to identify projects with a value of £1.3million that were originally planned for the second half of 2024 that were postponed. Almost all of that has been delivered in 2025.”
- “The division immediately took action to recognise the market conditions and to review its business by sadly reducing some staff members which has led to a decrease in salaries of £300,000 in 2025 from 2024. This better reflects the stable underlying business.”
- “We have also continued to invest in our audio visual equipment fleet with a spend in 2024 of £631,314 representing 11.3% of the Live Event Rental Turnover.”
