Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This is because the directors, after making enquiries and specifically considering the implications of the ongoing geopolitical events and the wider economic issues arising from these, and following a review of the Company's forecasts for 2026 and 2027, including cash flows and borrowing facilities, consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operation for the foreseeable future.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-01-31 vs 2024-01-31

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
