Going concern
Affirmed

“Company law requires the Directors to consider the appropriateness of the going concern basis when preparing the financial statements. The Directors confirm that they consider that the going concern basis remains appropriate due to the fact that the Directors believe that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future on the basis of existing financing facilities.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-11-29 vs 2023-11-24

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
