Going concern
Affirmed

“At the period end the company had a deficit of £11,184,368. The deficit is funded by loans from other group companies which will not be called for repayment unless cash flow permits for a minimum period of 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The directors consider with parent company support that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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
