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

Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position have been considered by the directors, along with the risks and uncertainties facing the company. The company operates in a mature industry, has numerous ongoing contracts with customers and suppliers across different geographic areas, has sufficient cash to meet current and future obligations, has minimal debt and where it does is operating well within it's agreed financing facilities. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the company's annual financial statements.”
