Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Management has assessed the Company's financial position, cash flows, and funding sources, as well as its continued support from its investor Volpi Capital LLP, and believes that it has adequate resources to continue its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As a result, the going concern assumption is considered appropriate, and no adjustments have been made to the carrying values of assets or liabilities.”

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
