Going concern
Affirmed

“The company has considerable financial resources, together a large database of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas, as well as support from the Parent Company. As a consequences, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual reports and accounts.”

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
