Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have tested the cash flows of the business in the light of the company's current operational plan and have concluded, that with the support of the parent company, there are adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The directors have also concluded that at present there are no additional material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, thus the company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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
