Going concern
Affirmed

“The company has incurred a loss of £3,736,772 (2024 - loss of £2,565,842) and has net current liabilities at 30 June 2025 of £3,685,364 (2024-net current liabilities of £914,025). The company's ability to continue trading relies on the continued support from the existing shareholder which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Since the year end shares have been issued to the existing shareholder, resulting in consideration received of £5,650,001, see note 21 for further details. In addition to this the shareholder has provided a letter of support to confirm they will continue to provide sufficient support to the company to continue to trade and meet its liabilities as and when they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. The directors prepare cash flow forecasts on a regular basis to ensure there are sufficient cash resources in place to support the company's activities and as such, believe that there are sufficient resources in place to sustain the immediate budgeted losses. Considering the shareholder funds provided since the year end and the commitment to contirue financially supporting the company, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-06-30

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
