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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the current and projected financial position of the company making reasonable assumptions about the future performance. The key areas reviewed were forecast income and cash flows for the period of at least twelve months from approving these accounts and based on these days directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements are presented on a going concern basis.”
