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

“In order to form an assessment of the continued applicability of the going concern basis of preparation, the Directors have prepared trading and cash flow forecasts for the Company covering twelve months from the date of signing the accounts to 30th April 2026. Given the ongoing economic uncertainty, the Directors have also applied various sensitivities to the trading and cash flow forecasts. These scenarios confirm that the Company will be able to continue to operate and settle their liabilities as they fall due under all reasonably foreseeable scenarios. Should the potential future impacts of the economy be greater than the Directors predict, they could implement cost management strategies. The Directors have received confirmation from the Parent Company that the intercompany loan balance will not be recalled within the next 12 months. Additionally, the directors have considered the ongoing financial support from the group, which provides further assurance that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. Based on these factors, the Directors are confident that the Company will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
