Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company meets its day to day working capital predominantly requirements through issuing share capital. In addition to this, income is received through the sale of development projects and development costs recovered. The Directors have considered the Company's cash flow requirements for the 12 months from the date of issue of the financial statements, and they consider that the Company will continue to have sufficient funds for the foreseeable future. The Directors have made supported assumptions regarding revenues receivable from current investments, future funding, and share capital to be issued, which the Directors feel is sufficient for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.”

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
