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

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to Note 1.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company incurred a net operating loss of £1,344,336 during the year ended 31 March 2025 and, as of that date, the company's net liabilities exceeded its total assets by £19,970,767. As a result, the company's operations depend on continuing financial support and funding from its ultimate holding company, Samarkand Group Limited. As stated in Note 1.2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
