Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the period to 31 December 2026 and meet its liabilities as they fall due. ... Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 31 December 2026. The company therefore continues to adopt the 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

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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
