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 company has an excellent 'quality' pipeline of opportunities, a strong cash balance, and no external debt (other than asset finance). The directors have considered several scenarios and sensitivities in relation to working capital, gross margin reduction and a reduction in the pipeline of opportunities which indicate sufficient headroom within the currently available cash and agreed available funding facilities. Considering the healthy pipeline, current resources along with the positive forecasted future activity of the company and its banking facilities, the directors have no reason not to believe that the company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.”
