Going concern

Affirmed

“Notwithstanding net liabilities of £72,086,100 as at 30 June 2025 and a loss for the year then ended of £8,506,699, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate as they have received written confirmation from the company's parent undertaking, the University of Chicago, that it will continue to provide financial support to the company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and will not seek repayment of amounts owed to it (totalling £69,807,985 at 30 June 2025) during this period.”

Significant events

• “The overall loss of £8,506,699 in 2024-2025 was less than the loss of £8,965,692 in 2023-2024 by £458,993, as revenues decreased, and expenses decreased. Overall revenue decreased by £751,498 from £7,120,155 to £6,368,657 a decrease of 10.6%. This was mainly attributed to the following reasons; (1) EMBA program tuition revenue decreased by £516,485.”
• “Total students decreased from an average of 100 students in FY24 to an average of 88 students in FY25, with more students in the incoming cohort. This is partially associated with the war in Ukraine, Israel, and other geo-political events.”
• “Executive Education revenue decreased by a total £340,118. All Executive Education programs held on the London campus are now managed entirely from Chicago, with revenues and expenses absorbed within the Chicago budgets. This is due to a significant reduction in the number of programs held in London.”
• “Overall expenses decreased by £1,210,491 from £16,085,847 to £14,875,356, a decrease of 7.5%. Expenses were generally down in FY25 compared with FY24, along with a significant currency gain.”

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
