Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“At 31 May 2025 the Company had cash at bank of £13,691,405 (2024: £6,980,287). The Company had access to a Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") with Santander Bank plc of £5.0m. The RCF is a three-year committed facility entered into in November 2024. As a result, the Company terminated the sales invoicing facility held with Barclays Bank. The scenarios modelled including the severe but plausible model, demonstrate the Group has adequate cash for the next twelve months. Therefore, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis to prepare the financial statement.”
