Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared detailed financial projections which indicate that the Company is able to continue operating as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These projections, which extend to 31 July 2027, incorporate the anticipated effects of changes in the wider economic environment. In preparing these projections, Management has considered potential adverse impacts both specific to the Company and arising from broader economic challenges. While forecasting inherently involves a degree of uncertainty, the Directors have applied their best estimates and judgement in assessing the Company's future performance, financial position, and the potential impact of wider economic conditions. The Company has access to an invoice discounting facility to finance its working capital requirements if needed. Although the facility does not have a fixed expiration date and may be withdrawn at the discretion of the bank, the Company has consistently met the bank's requirements. The Directors are satisfied that the facility will remain available for the duration of the going concern assessment period. Based on this assessment, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to meet its obligations as they fall due over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
