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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the group of which the company is a member ("the Group") have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a minimum period of 12 months from date of signature. Thus, the business has considered the Company's ongoing ability to fund its network roll out plan and continued operational expenditure and is satisfied that the Company can meet its obligations with the cash on hand and further loan notes and funding available.”
