Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the company's financial performance and position and have prepared forecasts based on historic trends and assumptions about future sales, cost levels and the timing of cashflows. Current forecasts have been prepared to December 2026 and show that the directors expect the company to have sufficient cash resources to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future and as a minimum for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. As at 31 December 2024, the entity had cash resources of £6.2m. Based on this cash position and current forecasts, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they 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
