Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group made a loss for the year and has net current liabilities at 31 March 2025. As the result of the contiruing losses, the directors have undertaken a review of the group's operations and identified potential cost savings and property disposals to improve cash flow. The Group's bankers have also agreed to continue to provide overdraft facilities and, if necessary, certain shareholders have agreed to provide, limited financial support to meet day to day running costs for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements in the event those cost savings and property disposals are delayed or deferred. Given the above, and the level of current cash reserves, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As a result, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual Jinancial 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. 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
