Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates the group, of which the company is part, is subject to a material uncertainty about it's ability to remain a going concern. ... Nonetheless, the Directors acknowledge that these group projections are subject to uncertainty, given ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, as well as potential regulatory changes. As with other businesses operating in the same or similarly impacted sectors, the Group's outlook depends on these external factors and thus all related judgements reached at this stage remain subject to material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.”

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
