Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The company is dependent on Lock Topco Limited, its ultimate parent company, continuing to provide financial support. Lock Topco Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Board's forecast extends beyond twelve months from signing of these financial statements, including severe downside scenarios. The forecast indicates that the Group will continue to generate cash to meet its financial obligations and there is significant headroom on its financial covenants in relation to its bank loans. Therefore, whilst there is wider economic uncertainty, the Directors are confident the Group will sustain profitability and cash flow and so believe 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
