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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors, after reviewing the group and company's financial performance and position, have prepared forecasts based on historic trends and assumptions about future sales, cost levels and the timing of cash flows. The forecasts show that the directors expect the group and company to have sufficient cash resources to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.”
