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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Accordingly, the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements remains appropriate.”
