Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company has adequate financial resources and no recourse to external borrowing. The Company has sufficient cash resources, which are monitored closely on an actual and prospective basis, and has no concerns over the ability to meet its commitments as they fall due over the foreseeable future. Given the Company's operations, financial position and outlook, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources and is well placed to manage its risks and continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's 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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
