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

- Affirmed
“In the year to 31 March 2025, the Company generated a profit for the year of £600,304 (2024 - £678,722) and held cash balances as at 31 March 2025 of £3,617,917 (2024 - £1,931,858). The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downside scenarios, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Although the forecasts do not require borrowing facilities to be utilised, the directors note that the Company has continued access to an unutilised £4m overdraft facility which is expected to be renewed for a further year on 31 March 2026 as in prior years. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The outlook for the Company is optimistic. Since the year end the Company is exploring alternative products and therefore increasing our product offering.”
