- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Trading and general economic conditions have remained challenging throughout the year ended 31st March 2025. Despite these conditions the company has performed well over the course of the year. The directors are therefore satisfied with the results for the year.”
- “Since the end of the end of the year, trading conditions have remained challenging within the sector and the company's focus has been devoted to improved efficiencies and cost management, combined with business development initiatives.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
