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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The Company is reliant on the support of its ultimate parent company, Eagle Superco Limited, to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. However, the directors consider that the Company is an integral part of Eagle Superco Limited structure and strategy, which is evidenced by a letter of comfort from Eagle Superco Limited, which states its commitment to provide necessary financial support to ensure that the Company is a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
