Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The Group has run various downside scenarios focusing specifically on a reduction in revenues of continuing operations over the 12-month period from the date these financial statements were approved. There were no liquidity issues noted under these scenarios (taking into account the disposals of Hatch Küttner and Brainnwave post year-end) and consequently directors do not see material uncertainties over going concern of the business over the next 12 months.”

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
