Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors of the company, along with the directors of Novomatic UK Limited, have assessed the balance sheet and likely future cash flows of the company for at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months from the date of signing. It is therefore appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
