Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors, having prepared cash flow forecasts and given due consideration to the inflationary environment and residual supply chain challenges and general macro-economic uncertainty on the Company's markets, operations and financial risk, have assessed that there is no material uncertainty with the Company's ability to continue operating as a going concern for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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
