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 2025-04-26 vs 2024-04-26

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 has prepared forecasts up to April 2027 based upon what it considers to be prudent assumptions. After considering these forecasts, the directors consider that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issue of these financial statements and believe it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
