Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have assessed all available information about the future to ascertain whether the Group and Company are a going concern. The process has been aided by long term revenue, cost and cash flow forecasts. The Group also has the support of the ultimate parent company, SICO Incorporated, based in the USA. The Directors have obtained written confirmation of the support and the Group auditor has provided a confirmation that the Parent company and wider group is a going concern and has sufficient resources to support the Company if this was required. Based on this, the Directors are satisfied that the Company is a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-11-30 vs 2023-11-30

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
