Going concern
Affirmed

“The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. Based on budgeted and forecast, Balance Sheet and cashflow forecasts and receipt of a signed letter of financial support from the Parent, Lancaster University Students' Union, for which covers at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources for the foreseeable future. Current trading prospects, operational risks and working capital requirements are also reviewed. The directors will closely monitor the number of attendances, profit margin and overheads.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-07-31 vs 2024-07-31

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
