Year-on-year

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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

“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which is dependent upon the continued support of the company's parent undertaking, Friend Media Technology Systems Limited, and fellow subsidiary undertaking, Friend MTS Limited, to ensure adequate facilities are available for the company to discharge its liabilities as they fall due. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue indefinitely, although at the date of approval of these financial statements, the directors are in receipt of a letter from the company's fellow subsidiary undertaking indicating that support will be available for the foreseeable future. Based on this undertaking, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
