Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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 have made an assessment of the Company's going concern, considering both the Company's current performance and its outlook for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these Financial Statements, using the information available up to the date of issue of the Company's Financial Statements. The Company manages and monitors its capital and liquidity, and various assessments and stresses are applied to those positions to understand potential impacts of market downturns (Note 2(b)). These stresses do not give rise to any material uncertainties over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.”
