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
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared forecasts for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the Company will have sufficient funds, through its cash balances and available invoice financing facility to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The directors are not aware of any material uncertainties surrounding the ongoing trade of the business and post year end trading has been pleasing. Consequently the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
