Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-05-31 vs 2024-05-25

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company continues to operate profitably, with sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and at least beyond the next twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. This view is based on a comprehensive going concern assessment of the Company, including detailed board approved forecasts that highlight monthly profitability and cash generation until 29 May 2027. The directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. Having reviewed the Company's forecasts and considering sensitivity analysis, the directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.”
