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
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The company has net current liabilities of £1,686,067 (2023: £1,688,094) which arise principally due to amounts owed to its group undertakings. The subsidiary trading company has issued a letter of support for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements to the company which includes both making funds available if required and confirmation that group companies will not seek repayment of amounts due at the balance sheet date if this would be detrimental to the company. The directors have a reasonable explanation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future based on its forecasts. Having considered all of the above factors, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
