Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Having reviewed the company's forecasts and financial position, the directors are of the opinion that the company will continue to trade profitably for the foreseeable future and has adequate resources available to meet its liabilities as they fall due, allowing the company to continue in operational existence for à period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors therefore believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.”

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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
