Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-09-30 vs 2024-09-30

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 Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. This is based on the financial projections and the current expectations of the Directors about the prospects of the Company. The Company is in constant contact with all Stakeholders, including its Bank and Shareholders, and prepares regular financial forecasts to monitor the Company's funding requirements through retained profits and borrowing facilities, and projected compliance with banking covenants. Based on these projections, the Directors consider that the Company can meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the Directors' approval of these financial statements.”
