Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company operates through a zero-balancing agreement ("ZBA") with a group treasury Company, and the directors of the Company have considered the ability of the treasury company to liquidate funds at short notice if required. In assessing the going concern basis of preparation the directors have concluded that a letter of support is required from the Company's parent, W.L. Gore & Associates Inc. The directors have received a written letter of support from W.L. Gore & Associates Inc. confirming that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company, to the extent that it is required, for the period up to 31 December 2026.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
