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

Affirmed

“At the period end, the company had net current assets of £3,070,322 (2023: £15,550,626) and net assets of £34,863,375 (2023: £25,129,971). During the year, the company made a loss before tax of £9,806,030 (2023: £6,463,942). Consideration has been given to cashflow and solvency within the context of both the current economic uncertainties and challenges, as well as the effects of any relevant actual or planned legislative changes. The company is supported by ongoing investment relating to the governments Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund through Zouk Charging Infrastructure Investment LLP. Despite the accumulated losses to date, it is anticipated that the company will become ever more profitable when capital investment and installations are completed. As such, the directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant over the company's ability to continue as a going concern and are reasonably satisfied that there are sufficient resources to continue operations for at least 12 months from the date of signing.”
