Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company has financial resources available from its parent company together with long-term contracts with several customers and suppliers across different industries and geographical areas, mainly within the United Kingdom. In addition, the Company benefits from a letter of financial support from Circana LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of the company's ultimate parent company Circana Group Holdings Inc. for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business and cash flow risks successfully, despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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
