Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company has sufficient cash reserves to fulfil its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern period through to 31 May 2026. In considering the going concern status of the Company, the directors have also considered the going concern position of the Draken Europe Group, as it controls the resources of the entire Group (with banking cross guarantees in place) as well as the Draken US Group to the extent it applies to guarantee arrangements in place impacting the Company (note 13).”

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
