Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to there being sufficient resources available to the company from various loan agreement facilities from other group companies. The directors have produced forecasts that have been reviewed by the directors and are satisfied that the company remains a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these 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
