Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Company from the date of approval of the 2024 financial statements through to 30 September 2026 ("the going concern period"). These forecasts reflect an assessment of current and future market conditions and their impact on the Company's future cash flow performance. In assessing whether the going concern basis is appropriate the Directors have taken account of all available information about the future up to and including 30 September 2026, which is at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual 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
