Affirmed

“The company is profitable in the year and has net assets and a positive cash position at the year end. At the time of signing these accounts, the director considers that future expected trade indicates that the company will continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. On that basis, the director has prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
