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

“After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. The directors have received assurances that the company will have access to the BUUK Group's financial resources for a period of at least one year from the date of signing of the financial statemerts and that companies in the BUUK Group will not demand repayment of any inter-company debt where the company does not have the financial resources to effect such payment. In the longer term, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and that its financial support will be sufficient for the company to continue to trade and moct its obligations as they fall cue. This is on the basis of the financing facilities available together with the business plans of the group, which reflect current expected market conditions, risks, and opportunities, as well as a downside scenario which has been applied to the group's forecasts, the possibility of which is considered remote.”
