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

“At the time of approving the financial statements the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. This will be due to ongoing increases in turnover figures, and careful balancing of the investment required to drive the top line and cash flows. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
