Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared cashflow forecasts, which take into account reasonable sensitivities, in order to assess the future funding requirements of the Company and wider United Infrastructure Group and its committed finance facilities. After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operating existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and financial statements.”

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
