Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to Note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company had net liabilities and net current liabilities at the Balance Sheet date of $3,255,022 and $4,697,142 respectively and made a loss of $134,193 in the current year. These conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in Note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.”

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
