- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The company continues to expand its product portfolio. The directors aim to develop innovative products which will continue to expand the company's market share.”
- “The directors believe that significant policy improvements made in the second half of the 2018/19 trading year improved the company's profitability in the years ending 31st January 2020 and 31st January 2021, the eleven month period to 31st December 2021 and in the year to 31st December 2022. It is also the belief of the directors that the same policy improvements reduced losses for the year to 31st December 2023 and increased profits for the year to 31st December 2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
