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 will continue to be dependent on the ongoing financial support from fellow group companies to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. Confirmation has been received from the company's parent company that such financial support will be made available. Based on the above, the director is of the opinion that the company will have access to sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its obligations to third parties as they fall due, and therefore considers it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
