Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“Net assets at the balance sheet date are £779.3m (2023/24: £608.2m) and net current assets are £547.4m (2023/24: £379.0m) and the Company is forecasting to be profitable going forward. Based on the Company's liquidity position and cash flow projections at both the balance sheet date and the approval date for the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
