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

“Given the Company's current strong cash balance, the fact that it will continue to generate increased amounts of future cashflow in future years, that there is now no external bank debt after the £19m repayment in December 2024 and that management have also received a letter of support from the group's new owners, IRIS, albeit no such assistance is expected to be required in the period reviewed, we consider that even extremely improbable downturns in business performance would be able to be managed effectively and that we would have sufficient cash reserves to meet all current liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months. Consequently, the directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
