Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The director has assessed whether the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate, based on whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. This assessment has been required in the light of the significant uncertainty around the short to medium term impact of the economic impact of global events. Accordingly, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing this report and thus they adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing 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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
