Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have considered a going concern assessment of the Company in order to conclude on the appropriateness of preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared to reflect plausible downside scenario as a result of current levels of raw material and other inflations and its impact on the Company's trading performance and outlook. Those forecasts have been compared with the current and forecast liquidity position over that period and as a result of the assessment performed the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
