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

- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The year ending 31 March 2025 marks a pivotal moment for Audio Holdings Ltd a year of turnaround, renewal and fresh momentum. Following a challenging 2024, in which global uncertainty and market headwinds tested our resolve, we delivered a strong return to profitability, sharpened our processes, launched exceptional new products, and re-established our brand Cambridge Audio as a vibrant leader in the premium audio space.”
- “Our new Cambridge Audio identity launched in early 2025 was a company-wide effort that brought together teams from every function. Its launch has been met with enthusiasm from listeners and respect from the industry, giving us a revitalised platform for the future.”
- “Further cementing our cultural relevance, a successful collaboration with leading fashion brand Maharishi, which hit the streets in September, brought Cambridge Audio into new cultural spaces and reinforced our presence at the intersection of music, design and lifestyle.”
- “Environmental sustainability is central to our roadmap, and significant work is underway across our business and supply chain to reduce our impact and ensure we operate as a responsible global citizen.”
