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

Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding net liabilities of £94,307 (2023: £ 938,982) which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors acknowledge that the Company is in net liabilities, however this is a result of the interest rate swap, which is significantly out of the money, being included on the Statement of Financial Position. It is not the Company's intention to close these instruments before the maturity date on 30 September 2036, therefore there is no impact on the Company's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Company prepares cash flow forecasts covering the expected life of the asset and so including the 12-month period from the date the financial statements are signed. In drawing up these forecasts, the Directors have made assumptions based upon their view of the current and future economic conditions that will prevail over the forecast period. Based on these forecasts the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In light of this, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Company's annual financial statements.”

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