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. In assessing whether the going concern basis remains appropriate, the directors have considered the Group's current financial position, recent trading performance, forecast cash flows and the availability of banking facilities. The directors are aware of certain factors which may cast doubt upon the Group's, ability to continue as a going concern but despite these pressures the directors remain confident the Group will continue to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and that that the Group has sufficient support and resources available to manage these uncertainties effectively.”
