Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future developments, its financial position, financial risk management objectives and its exposure to liquidity, credit, interest and currency risk are described in the Strategic Report. Financial forecasts have been prepared and submitted to members of the Board for review setting out in detail the extent and diversity of the company's revenues; the current available liquidity of the company; the levels of committed cash outflows; and ability of the company to mitigate reductions in cash inflows. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. On this basis the directors are confident that the group and company will continue to meet its external financial commitments and considers it appropriate to apply the going concern basis to the preparation of the 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
