Audit opinion
Qualified
Going concern
Affirmed

“Whilst inherently uncertain, and we expect some impact to our operations and performance, we currently do not believe that the ongoing uncertainty with the Naira exchange rate will directly have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity for the foreseeable future, given the contractual revenue resets. Having carefully considered this and the other factors noted above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements and to operate within the covenant levels of its current debt facilities. The Directors therefore continue to consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated 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
