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 has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. A private equity investment by Lloyds Development Capital (LDC) on 25th January 2022 and the subsequent refinancing with Lloyds Banking Group has provided the group with cash and the ability to borrow to fund its growth plan. This is further supported by the group having several long-term contracts that will continue to generate revenue and there is visibility in the sales pipeline of new contracts into the future. The group will continue to maintain a sound financial plan and continue to monitor key financial indicators, to identify and address any potential risks. A cross company guarantee exists across group companies. Based on the above, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
