“The company made a profit for the year ended 31 July 2025 and had net assets at that date of £7,603,906. The company's cashflow forecasts show that the company has sufficient working capital for a period exceeding 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. On the basis of the above, and after making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
