Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In forming this view, the directors have considered the Company's current trading, profitability, cash flow forecasts, and net asset position. The Company is profitable, has positive net assets, and expects to continue generating sufficient cash to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further detail is provided in note 2.”

Year-on-year

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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
