Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared under the going concern basis. The Directors believe this is appropriate, not withstanding the net current liabilities as Bard Midco Limited has given an undertaking to provide such support as is necessary for the period to 30 June 2026 to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 30 June 2026, accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and 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
