Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group reported a profit for the period which reflects a level of activity that was significantly higher than the previous year. Furthermore, at the end of 2024 the Group had a significant amount of contracted revenue to be realised over the next two years, and a pipeline of further opportunities. In summary from the overall Group analysis (including the debt holding companies), the positive unaudited results for 2025 for the Group coupled with the continued support from debt and equity stakeholders provide the basis for preparing the financial statements under the going concern assumption.”

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
