Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on the analysis set out in note 1.3 of the financial statements, the directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
