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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the director considers to be appropriate for the following reasons. The director has prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the statement of accounting policies in the financial statements. The company is fully integrated within its Group, the ultimate parent company has provided a letter of support confirming that it will, for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements, continue to provide support, if required.”
