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
“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £9,590,000 as at 28 June 2025 (2024: £16,491,000) the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors consider appropriate for the following reasons. When considering going concern, forecasts have been built on a bottom-up basis and stress tested to prepare an approved budget and strategic plan used as a basis for reviewing going concern. Risks and opportunities have been considered, and severe but plausible downside risks have been assessed. Having reviewed the Group's short and medium-term plans and available financial facilities, the Board has reasonable expectations that the Group, and therefore the Company, has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “There were capital commitments totalling £2,143,000 at the end of the financial year, (2024: £nil) for which no provision has been made.”
- “The company is subject to a cross guarantee in the form of a fixed and floating charge over the assets of UK Frisbee Debtco Limited ("the Group").”
