Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company's intermediate parent, Markerstudy Group Limited (“MGL”), has provided a letter of support confirming that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company such that it will continue to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Markerstudy Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash reserves and borrowings. The Markerstudy Group’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current cash reserves and borrowings. The Directors are therefore confident that there will be sufficient positive cash flows to support the liquidity and solvency of the Company. On this basis, the Directors continue to prepare these financial statements on a 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
