Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Having assessed the principal risks to liquidity and solvency for the Company, the directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's financial ability to continue as a going concern and they have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence until at least 31 March 2026 and therefore it is appropriate to adopt a going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements, and accordingly these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
