Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have considered the future profitability of the company and its ability to continue as a going concern and have prepared profit and cash flow forecasts to September 2027, sensitised for reasonable possible changes in trading performance and these indicate that, taking account of reasonable possible downsides on the operations and its financial resources, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-09-30 vs 2024-09-30

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
