Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position, banking arrangements and current year forecast, and of the enquiries made of the directors of the company's parent, the company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual report and accounts. The company has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company which confirms it will support the company for 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

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
