Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have assessed the ability of the Company to be a going concern. The Company's cash flow forecast, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company will be able to operate within the level of its current cash and cash equivalents for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Having assessed the principal risks the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing its financial statements.”

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
