Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared financial forecasts and projections covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, taking account of anticipated developments within the business as well as reasonably possible changes in trading performance. These show that the company, and the group of which it is part, should retain sufficient financial resources to meet their liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business for at least the next twelve months following approval of these financial statements and, accordingly, they continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-07-20 vs 2024-07-20

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
