Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group had net current assets of £1,108,000 as at 31 March 2025, a profit for the year then ended of £1,174,000 and net cash generated from operating activities of £11,543,000. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate for the reasons set out in more detail in note 1.5. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that after taking into account reasonably possible downsides, the Group and Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Group and Company has sufficient funds available in the 12 months following date of approval of these financial statements that they have been prepared 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
