Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“Having reviewed all the information available to them, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis. Additionally, the company managed to generate a positive cash flow due to the positive margins and this allowed the parent company to take a loan in foreign currency from the company. The directors have analysed the impact of current economic environment, high inflation and interest rates and considering all the available information for at least 12 months from the date of signing, have concluded that these circumstances do not have an adverse impact on the level of activity of the company during the going concern period. The directors have analysed the impact of the high inflation and interest rates in the company's cash flow and have considered that no additional financial resources are likely to be required.”

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
