Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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 directors believe that the company will continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. This expectation is based on management forecasts for profitable trading in 2025 and beyond, a positive cashflow forecast, an ability to drawdown on an invoice discounting facility and the continued support of loan note holders.”
