Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-02-09 vs 2024-02-11

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 financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Directors have prepared detailed budgets for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts which show that the Company and Group is expected to be able to meet all its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors have produced a detailed going concern stress test for Netloc Holdings Limited of which, this Company is a wholly owned subsidiary. The conclusion of our stress test for Netloc Holdings Limited Group is that the business could comfortably continue to trade over the course of the 12 months following the date of the financial statements, without exceeding current banking facilities.”
