“The Directors have prepared a going concern assessment covering a period of 18 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

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
