- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees' cash flow projections show that, on reasonably cautious assumptions about levels of income, without recourse to additional funding from borrowing or government grants, and having agreed further support from the Foundation if needed through to at least December 2026, cash can be made to last beyond December 2026. On this basis, which the Trustees believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue to exist for at least 12 months from the date of this report, and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “The College continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic which meant no students on site from late March 2020 to late March 2022. The number of student weeks for students from the Foundation in Japan dropped by 20% from 2,952 to 2,366, but student weeks for other international students rose strongly by 52% from 1,806 to 2,745.”
- “During the year, the Group generated income of £3,470,000 (2024: £2,807,000) and incurred expenditure of £3,179,000 (2024: £3,477,000), resulting in a surplus for the year of £291,000 (2024: deficit £670,000). The change is mainly due to £700,000 of centre maintenance income received from the Foundation and the fruit of strenuous efforts to control costs which have saved around £300,000.”
- “Another subsidiary, Shumei Eiko Services Ltd, which has been dormant for several years, was struck off during the year”

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
