Going concern
Affirmed

“At the year end the company has maintained a net current assets position (current assets exceed current liabilities) and a net assets position. The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash inflows from operating activities and intercompany financing, as required. The company should be able to operate within the level of its current arrangements. The directors, after making enquiries, have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the going concern basis continues to be adopted in preparing the 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
