- Going concern
- Affirmed
“During 2024, the Company proved that it was able to trade robustly. Early 2025 trading is showing similar characteristics, with revenue broadly in line with expectations and robust profit levels. As outlined further in note (3.3) to the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period to 31 July 2026. No material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern have been identified.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
