Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“In preparing these financial statements, the directors have assessed the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements... It is the directors' view that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-28 vs 2023-12-30

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
