Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared forward trading and cash flow forecasts, based on expected revenues and considered the company's liquidity requirements. which show that the company should be able to manage its working capital and existing resources to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Based on these factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly they have prepared these financial statements on the going concern basis.”

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
