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

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The year to 31 March 2025 has seen a decrease in profits from the prior year. Although revenue has increased, the profitability of sales were lower. This was primarily due to allocation of works within the year.”
- “During the year the company disposed of its investment property that had been held for rental income.”
