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 2025-03-31 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

“In preparing these financial statements, the Directors must satisfy themselves that it is reasonable for them to adopt the going concern basis. The Company made profit after tax of £3.9m (2024: £9.8m) and has net assets of £16.4m (2024: £12.5m). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as there are no material uncertainties identified by the Directors that could cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern or honour its liabilities as they fall due for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
