Affirmed

“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102. At the balance sheet date, the Company had net current liabilities, primarily arising from Intercompany balances. The directors have received confirmation from the parent undertaking that financial support will be provided to the Company as required for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and that Intercompany balances will not be demanded for repayment within this period. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
