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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have considered the financing requirements for the period for the period to 30 June 2026, the going concern review period. The Company is a trading entity and is independently cash generative with a cash balance of £5.9m as at 30 April 2025. However, the Company itself does not have access to the financing facilities within the Group as a standalone entity and the principal risks and uncertainties of the Company are managed at a Group level. Given the financing structure whereby the Company does not have access to the financing facilities on a standalone basis, the Company is reliant upon support from the Group and in this regard a letter of support has been received from Waterside Topco Limited (its ultimate parent company) confirming support to continue as a going concern for the review period to 30 June 2026. The Directors have assessed the ability of its ultimate parent to provide the support required considering its needs and the level of facilities available to the Group. The Directors of this Company are also Directors of Waterside Topco Limited and therefore have access to the forecasts and the "stress test" scenario that assess the ability of the group to withstand a material and prolonged decline in revenues and Net Fee Income against the covenant ratio over the going concern review period whilst also remaining in a positive cash position. For these reasons, the Directors have concluded it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of these financial statements.”
