Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The following paragraphs set out the basis of which the directors have reached their conclusion. The company has net current liabilities of £1,473,254 (2023: net current assets of £1,781,042) at 31 December 2024 and incurred a loss before tax of £7,128,362 (2023: loss £866,320) for the year ended 31 December 2024. The profit and losses in year ending 31 December 2024 were materially impacted by exceptional items totalling £2,898,413 (2023: £nil) which has significantly reduced the Company's cost base moving forward. On 21 December 2024, the Group successfully completed a restructuring, resulting in the shareholder obtaining 90% of the Group's equity and revised terms on the Company's outstanding £39m term loan. This refinancing, coupled with further equity investments since the year end, provides the Group with a stable medium-term funding platform and reflects the continued ongoing support of its majority shareholder. This successful restructuring process provides certainty to the Group in the short to medium term allowing it to focus on delivering its strategic objectives. The Directors believe it is appropriate therefore to prepare the financial statements to 31 December 2024 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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
