Going concern
Affirmed

“In undertaking this assessment, the directors have given due consideration to the Company and Group's banking facilities, historical and current trading, together with the forward-looking projections. These forecasts have been prepared based on the current economic conditions and show that the Group will continue to be cash generative. These forecasts also show that their will continue to be sufficient headroom available on all current banking facility financial covenants. The Company remains reliant on the support of the wider Group and has obtained a support letters from Spyder Holdco Limited, the ultimate parent company that this support will continue for at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual 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. 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
