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

Affirmed

“Notwithstanding the net liabilities position, the directors have prepared projections and forecasts for the forthcoming 12 months which shows continued levels of profitability and maintainable cash reserves. This along with the confirmations of continued support it has received from related parties from whom significant funds are expected to remain in place lead the directors to consider that the company has sufficient funds to continue to settle third party liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
