Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-29 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

Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The base forecast reflects the approved budget for 2025 updated for current trading as well as forecasts to 2026 using historic growth trajectories and expected costs. The directors have also considered a severe but plausible downside scenario which has a reduction in revenue and gross margin, partly offset by known and anticipated cost reductions. Under this scenario the company remains cash generative and in a positive net cash position. Under both the base case and the severe but plausible downside case, the forecast indicates that the Company has sufficient liquidity to continue to settle liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Consequently, the Directors believe it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
