Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“At the balance sheet date, the company had a significant positive cash balance and net current asset position. At the time of signing these accounts, the directors have considered the effect on the going concern position. The financial forecasts prepared by the directors show that the company will be able to operate within the facilities available to it, specifically the long term loan of £46.7m, of which £36.4m is due for repayment in September 2027. The directors consider that the company will continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”

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. 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
