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

“As at 31 March 2025, the Company had net current assets of £39.2m (2024: £38.2m) and net assets of £64.9m (2024: £58.7m). In the current year a profit before tax of £8.6m was generated (2024: £9.1m). The Directors have reviewed trading forecasts and cash flow requirements, including reasonably possible changes in trading performance in light of current economic conditions, and are confident that they will be able to meet future financing needs from funds available and through agreed borrowing facilities. In June 2025 the Group has extended the working capital agreements in place with shareholders to September 2026 and has received confirmation from its shareholders the repayment of any shareholder funding will be subordinated in favour of all other creditors to allow the Group to meet its financial obligations from the signing date of these financial statements, together with other confirmations to support the going concern assessment. Accordingly, the Directors expect the Company to continue with its principal activity for the foreseeable future, being the next 12 months from the signing of these financial statements, and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “In June 2025, shareholder working capital and liquidity facilities were extended to 30 September 2026 (previously 30 September 2025) was agreed with both shareholders.”
