Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts and associated sensitivity analysis for the period beyond 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, which indicate that, in all reasonable scenarios, the Company will be able to operate within the group banking facilities and meet its liabilities as they fall due. As a result, at the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months. Thus, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
