Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-07-31 vs 2024-07-31

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

“The Board of Directors have concluded that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Board has taken account of the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine and global energy supply disruption in its going concern assessment. At the balance sheet date, the company had net assets of £35,786,000 (2024: £43,524,000) and net current assets of £80,037,000 (2024: £93,907,000). The company's overall parent, Origin Enterprises plc has confirmed in writing that it will provide financial support for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In making this assessment, the directors had regard for the overall position of the Origin Group. The Board has considered the overall liquidity and reasonably believe that these uncertainties would not have a material impact on its ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of approval of these financial statements.”
