Going concern
Affirmed

“In determining whether the going concern basis of preparation for the financial statements is appropriate the directors have considered the sources of revenue, the ongoing costs of all aspects of the Company's business and the availability of funding. The directors have prepared a base case cash flow forecast and a severe but plausible downside forecast covering the going concern period and beyond. Indicating that the company can continue to trade, to service its debts and meet its obligations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Annual report and financial statements. The directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
