Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company generated a statutory profit of £8.6m in the period to 29 March 2025 (FY24: £6.8m) and at 29 March 2025 had net current liabilities of £(0.4)m (FY24: £(6.5)m) and net assets of £12.3m (FY24: £3.7m). When assessing going concern the Directors assess the Group as a whole, rather than the individual statutory entities.”

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
