Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“Notwithstanding the Company's net current liabilities of £71.1m as at 31 March 2025, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons: The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements from its cash balances and the availability of the Groups £120m revolving credit facility (which was amended and extended in October 2024 to now expire in October 2028) which this company is a party to as an obligor and guarantor. ... Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Group and Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared 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. 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
