Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors are confident that the company is well-positioned to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the foreseeable futur. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have considered the financial position of the Company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements and have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
