Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. The forecasts have not identified any material uncertainties in relation to going concern. The company continues to be supported by grant funding from DBT which, together with income from grant recipients as project support fees, covers the costs of running APC. Having considered all factors noted above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
