Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors believe the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the Company's financial statements for the period ended 31st July 2025. The Board is therefore of the opinion that the going concern basis adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31st July 2025 is appropriate.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-07-31 vs 2024-07-31

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
