Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company is funded primarily through intercompany funding arrangements, which are due to be renewed in June 2026, and accordingly, the directors have concluded that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued group support. The ultimate parent company, Sony Group Corporation, has confirmed in writing that it will continue to support the Company for the foreseeable future, and the directors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
