Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements after assessing the financial forecasts of the Company for the period to 10 December 2026. The Directors have prepared a base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario and under both scenarios the Company is forecasting to have positive cash inflows and have the ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due to 10 December 2026.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-28 vs 2023-09-30

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

Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
