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

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company is currently lossmaking and dependent on the continued financial support of its parent undertaking to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The parent has expressed its intention, without providing a binding commitment, to provide financial support for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, including not calling in loans repayable on demand and providing such funds as are reasonably required. The directors note that the parent company has expressed a continued interest in maintaining the company's operations, however it is possible that this intention could change in the future depending on market conditions and group priorities. As stated in note 3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
