Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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 report a net liabilities position of £(67,945,179) (2024: £(13,453,238)). In considering the Going Concern assumption, the directors have reached their conclusion based on future trading forecasts... The directors are confident that the assumptions underlying these forecasts are reasonable and that the company will be able to operate on this basis. ... Accordingly, the Directors remain confident in the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial statements have therefore been prepared on that basis.”
