Material uncertainty disclosed

“This entity is dependent on the support of the group and the group are dependent on successful refinancing of the existing loan facilities, which is not guaranteed. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.”

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
