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 statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors, at the time of approving the financial statements, believe that this basis is appropriate. The Company manages its operating cash flows by being part of the Group's cash pooling arrangements. The business has completed a Group cash flow forecast for this Group which includes Watchfinder.co.uk Limited for at least 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements and has considered plausible downside scenarios based on the experience of the past year. Failure to meet liquidity requirements through operations will be met via Group's cash pooling arrangements from ultimate parent company. The Company's ultimate parent company, Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA, has provided a letter of support stating that it will support the Company to meet its capital requirements and provide additional funds to meet liabilities as and when they fall due. The Directors have reasonable expectation that ultimate parent company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for foreseeable future, based on the ultimate parent company's own going concern assessment. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
