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

“Management holds regular meetings to review strategy, financial position, and operating performance. Sensitivity analyses are undertaken to assess the potential impact of varying economic conditions. Based on these reviews, the directors are satisfied that the company will remain cash positive for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
