Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group is satisfied that it will be able to meet all its obligations as they fall due, due to its history of generating positive operating cash flows, its expected future profitability, existing cash reserves and available debt facilities. At 31 December 2024, the Group had net current liabilities of $60,286,000 (2023: $73,103,000). This arises in part because the external borrowing is classified as current at year end. As noted in note 15, the term of this loan was extended to 30 June 2027.”

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
