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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have made an assessment which concluded that it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis. This assessment included a review of cashflow forecasts which cover a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts. The review also included consideration of a plausible worst case scenario, including a potential deterioration in trading, and in such a scenario the directors expected the Company to continue to have access to sufficient cash to continue to trade and meet all liabilities as they fall due for payment. The Company remains profitable and has no external loans. The Company is party to a cash pooling arrangement operated by the parent group and at 31 March 2025 the Company was owed approximately £3.8m by the parent group under this arrangement as set out in note 15. The directors expect to have ready access to cash via this longstanding group arrangement and in the unlikely situation that the agreement was terminated the Company would recover the above significant cash balance.”
