Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors are confident that the steps they have taken to mitigate associated risk, in tandem with future plans for the company as set out in the Strategic Report will ensure the company is well positioned to continue to trade throughout the current uncertain economic environment. They have therefore concluded that there is no material uncertainty about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and that it remains 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
