Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-29 vs 2023-12-30

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

“We draw your attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of £1,373,321 in the period ended 29 December 2024 and, as at that date, the group's liabilities exceeded its total assets by £2,661,604. At 29 December 2024, the group owed £6,670,828 to its parent company, Emerald X LLC, a company registered in the US. The group is heavily reliant on the support from its parent company and will continue to need that support in order to be able to continue to trade. The parent company has given written confirmation that they will continue to support the group for the foreseeable future, a period which is not less than 12 months from the date of the signing of the financial statements. The intention for the parent to financially support the group is not legally binding. The events and conditions stated in Note 2 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern.”
