Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. During the year the group made a total comprehensive loss of $2,263,996 (2023: total comprehensive income of $261,081), and at the reporting date had net current liabilities of $412,195 (2023: assets $965,826). In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the directors have taken account revenue projections and cash flow forecasts along with the existing credit facility that provides sufficient liquidity headroom covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and beyond.”

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
