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
Affirmed

“The Financial forecasts for profits and cash flows indicate that the company does not expect any significant downturn. The company has no borrowings. However, the company has significant cash balances and has considerably good financial resources with strong net and current assets at year-end and at date of sign off and the stress testing indicate no issues. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well-placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current economic conditions. Accordingly, the directors consider that the company will be able to settle its liabilities as these fall due for a period of twelve months from the date that these accounts are signed and the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
