“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. This assessment was made after taking account of all factors including consideration of the impact of the macro economy. In assessing these factors management have, for a period of at least twelve months from financial statement approval: Confirmed with group undertakings that obligations owed will not be called in for settlement at the detriment of the company. Obtained a letter of support from its parent company and sufficed themselves that said support is highly probable if required. In doing so the directors have sufficed themselves that the Company will meet its obligations for a period of at least twelve months from date of approval of these financial statements, and that in doing so they have considered that any uncertainty in the economy.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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
