Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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 regularly assess the availability of future financial resource through use of forecast modelling and react to changes in expected trading activity. A detailed forecast and cashflow have been prepared to March 2026 incorporating future expected revenue including committed orders and pipeline prospects where the directors are 90% confident of conversion to realisable sales. As a result of these factors, the directors deem that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis.”
