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 directors have assessed whether there are any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the directors have taken in to account all available information about the future, and conclude that the group has adequate resources to to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
