Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Due to the continuing profitability levels achieved by the Group throughout the year, the Directors anticipate the Group trading strongly during the period forecasted by Management which covers a period of 12 months from approval of the financial statements. These forecasts and projections prepared by the Directors consider assumptions relating to the Group and Company's financial performance, current financial position and existing financial resources. The Directors consider these forecasts to be achievable. Based on the above, the Directors are of the opinion that the going concern principle is applicable and that the Group and Company have the necessary resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.”

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
