“As part of the going concern review, the directors have reviewed the wider group's forecast cash flows, liquidity, borrowing facilities and related covenant requirements. This included an assessment of the impact of principal risks and uncertainties faced by the group and those specifically brought about by the ongoing effects of the pandemic and associated supply chain risks.”

Significant events
- “During the year, the group performed strongly and traded successfully with all key financial metrics growing significantly year on year, reporting revenues of £38.07m (2023: £38.05m), gross margins of £13.44m (2023: £12.27m) a 9.5% increase and adjusted EBITDA of £4.3m (2023: £3.2m) a 34% increase.”
- “The emergence of Retail Media Networks within the digital retail space has also provided a significant revenue opportunity moving forward on which the directors are confident the business is well placed to capitalise on given the group's strong referenceability in nationwide and global signage roll-outs.”
- “The group has continued to invest into its systems architecture to automate repeat manual processes as well as to enhance the overall customer experience, with a focus on shifting more emphasis to offering a managed service annuity model.”
- “In June 2024, it was decided to fully impair a financial analytics software as it was deemed to no longer provide future economic benefit to the business. The total value of the impairment was £39,154.”
- “In December 2024, after appropriate consideration and discussion, management determined that there are more economically viable third party alternatives to the IDT product lines and so the business would cease developing and selling those products. The amounts held on the group's balance sheet were impaired to £35,584 to reflect the future economic benefit of those assets.”
