Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Directors believe it is therefore appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. However, these conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, because the Directors of the Company will not have full control over any revised ownership structure and therefore do not have full knowledge of any new ultimate parent undertaking's future intentions and funding plans in relation to the Company. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.”

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
