“The Company operates as part of the Dignity Group Holdings Limited group ('Dignity Group') and is one of a number of entities within that group which are part of a Securitisation Group established in connection with the Dignity Group's Secured Notes. The ability of the Dignity Group to meet its obligations under the A Notes and B Notes is entirely dependent on the ability of other members of the Securitisation Group to meet their obligations under loan agreements between those entities and the Company.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-27 vs 2023-12-29

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
