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

Affirmed

“The company currently has net assets of £3,831,929 (2024: £3,191,491) and the company's forecasts and projections, taking account of the impact of possible changes in trading performance, show that it should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. The company has entered into long-term contracts with both its client and suppliers, and after a careful review of these contracts the directors are confident that the company can continue to operate as a going concern for the next twelve months. The directors have committed to carry out regular reviews of the company's cash flows to monitor the ongoing situation. Due to the contractual nature of the SPV, cash flows are guaranteed with the only risk around going concern being the levels of service which are monitored closely through review of KPIs. The directors have reviewed these tests and are satisfied with the results and consider the company to be a going concern.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
