Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“During 2025 so far the market has continued to be challenging due to uncertain macro-economic conditions, such as political uncertainty and conflict impacting the cost base and creating market uncertainty. However, the Company is in a strong position to take advantage of growing opportunities in 2025. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well-placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that, with the support of the Group, there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due over for at least 12 months for the date of approval of these 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 2024-12-31 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
