Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-11-30 vs 2023-11-30

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

“At the balance sheet date the company had a significant cash balance of £5,690,529 and a strong net current asset position of £11,875,679. At the time of signing these accounts, the directors have considered going concern position and consider that the company will continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
