Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors expect that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of not less than twelve months. The directors have reviewed their cashflow requirements and are satisfied that both short term liquidity and longer term financial viability is appropriate and as such the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-05-31 vs 2024-05-31

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
