Material uncertainty over going concern
As of 31 March 2025, unrestricted funds liabilities exceeded it's assets by £56,461. This matter, along with other matters outlined in Note 17, indicate that there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified regarding this matter. (Page 11). Note 17: As of the balance sheet date, there exists a potential liability to City Property Glasgow (Investments) LLP amounting to £33,725. However, the Directors believe that this charge does not align with the term of our lease agreement. Consequently, no liability has been recognised in our financial statements.

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
