Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“In assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern the Directors have reviewed the Group and Company's performance, future plans, critical accounting estimates and judgements and considered sensitivities, including any potential impairments as a result of changes in cash flow forecasts. With the corporate restructure in the Group, the Directors have implemented a number of cost management strategies and are now focusing on growing the simplified Group. The Directors are of the opinion that the Group and Company's forecast and projections show that the Group and Company have adequate economic resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from date of approval of these financial statements and the forecasts indicate that the Company will move back to a cash generative position from 2026 onwards. At the reporting date, no material short-term impacts have crystalised, and the Group and Company remains confident about its long-term future performance however remains vigilant in monitoring day to day changes as the global situation evolves. Accordingly, 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
