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 the going concern basis which the Directors believe to be appropriate as set out below. In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Directors are required to consider whether the group can continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements ("going concern assessment period"). The Directors have prepared forecasts based on the pipeline of prospective and secured contracts and these forecasts indicate that the group will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall. Consequently, the directors are confident that the group will have sufficient funds to continue at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
