Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors consider that the company and group have sufficient cash resources and through the group's overdraft and revolving credit facilities to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. In reaching this view, the directors have reviewed the likely trading results of the company and the group, the company's and group's cash flow forecasts and have ensured that adequate committed lending facilities will be available to meet all reasonable cash requirements for the period to 31 October 2026 (a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these 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
