Going concern
Affirmed

“The company is continuing to trade comfortably within its current banking facilities that has a repayment date of February 2027. The company meets day to day working capital needs through internal cash management. In the current year, as part of management's consideration of going concern, the Board have sensitised its forecasts and projections to June 2026, taking into account possible changes in trading circumstances to determine when and to what extent additional measures may be necessary to protect the business and are confident in our ability to meet all obligations. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis and no material uncertainties have been identified.”

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
