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 Directors have, at the time of approving the consolidated financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will have sufficient resources to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements (the going concern period). Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements.”
