Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“As the company continues to trade profitably, has a strong net asset position, a healthy bank position and no adverse operational conditions exist, the directors are satisfied there are sufficient resources in place to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
