Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the company's budgets and forecasts for the 12 months from the date of this report, and its liquid resources. These forecasts demonstrate that the company will have sufficient cash resources for a period of at least one year. Thus, the directors have at the time of approving these financial statements, an expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period, which is 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 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
