Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Group currently meets its working capital requirements through its cash balances. The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show the Group will be able to operate within the level of its facilities for a forecast period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. We do not believe there are any material uncertainties regarding our ability to operate as a going concern and, accordingly, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-05-31 vs 2024-05-31

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
