Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the ability of the company to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The directors recognise the risks associated with ongoing wage increases, coupled with staff shortages, rising utility costs, interest rates and the ongoing Ukraine war but are confident that plans are in place to mitigate this risk and believe there are sufficient financial resources available to reduce the impact of any unforeseen events.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-10-31 vs 2023-10-31

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
