Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and parent company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The current year results show a loss for the financial year of £1.3 million (2024 - £2.8 million loss) and a net current liabilities position of £2.3 million as at 31 January 2025 (2024 - £0.5 million net current assets). The directors have confidence that the group and parent company have sufficient cash reserves and forecasted resources to continue to trade for at least 12 months from the date of the authorisation of these financial statements. In making this assessment, the directors have prepared detailed cash flow projections through to January 2027. The group and parent company expect to continue with positive cash generation and to return to sustainable profitability in the financial year to 31 January 2026. Furthermore, a four-year £3 million loan facility was obtained in July 2023, which further strengthened the group and parent company's cash position. To date, the group has drawn down £2m of the facility and does not expect to utilise the remaining £1m of the facility. Based on the above factors, the directors are satisfied that it remains appropriate for the group and parent company to prepare their financial statements on a going concern basis. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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. 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
