The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Turnover reduced by £1.2m to £63.7m in the period. Sales in the Mexico operation were lower due to localisation of some business to Asia but there was compensating upside in the UK from new products.”
- “Foreign exchange losses on overseas operations of £1.6m are as a result of the retranslation of the Mexico balance sheet following the weakening of USD compared to GBP.”
- “Net current assets reduced by £3.3m at 12.8% of sales (2024 17.8%). This was all due to the movement in the balances with group undertakings.”
