- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (which has been taken as at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements). No material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the Directors. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance which has arisen that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company in the financial years subsequent to 31 March 2025 not otherwise disclosed in this report.”
- “Management has continuously monitored the geopolitical events that may impact the business environment. There was no significant direct financial impact relating to these events, and the Company has continued to operate effectively throughout the financial year.”
- “Management has assessed the impact of the high interest rate environment on the Company. ... Management has concluded that these did not have a significant direct impact on the operations of the Company during the current financial year.”

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
