Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Given that the Company has considerable financial resources and the fact that the Company has projected positive cashflows for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 31 May 2026. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-10-31 vs 2023-10-31

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
