Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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 director considers that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the company. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.”
