Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company's financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, where the directors analyse the business, assessing its' future 3 year forecast for performance and growth, the entity's financial positions, and assessing its' ability to satisfy obligations in the normal course of operations. After such review, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks. Therefore, 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 of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
