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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The following summarises the basis upon which the directors have reviewed this and reached their conclusion. The Company had consolidated net assets of £40.05m and consolidated cash reserves of £2.68m at 31 March 2025. The Company is financed by retained profits and re-invested working capital and has a share of Group banking facilities totaling £73.45m, repayable after more than one year. The Company has no other external borrowing. In assessing the going concern basis of preparation, the Directors have reviewed the financing position of the Company for the foreseeable future, defined as a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. They have prepared cashflow forecasts for this period which take into account known financial commitments and expected working capital requirements based upon expected levels of trading and cash generation. These cash flow forecasts indicate that the Company will be able to operate within the terms of its current arrangements and are considered to be achievable given expected levels of trading. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
