Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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 Directors have prepared cash flow information in order to assess going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements, the going concern assessment period. The forecasts indicate that the Ursae Group and therefore the Company has sufficient facilities and covenant headroom to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of the financial statements, even in severe but plausible downside scenarios. On this basis the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
