Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making their assessment, the directors have prepared forecasts through to 30 June 2026 and have assessed the liquidity requirements of the Company. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.”

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
