Going concern
Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the 12-month period post signing of the financial statements to December 2026. Based on this assessment, they have concluded that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion, the directors have also taken into account the letter of support provided by the group, which reinforces the company's financial stability.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-28 vs 2024-06-29

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
