Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company held net assets of £9,249,170 (2023: £7,114,237) and cash at year end was £4,078,953 (2023: £4,262,790). Since that time, the business has continued to grow the order book and carefully managed liquidity and working capital. In assessing whether the going concern is appropriate the Director reviewed financial performance, cash flow forecasts, and store-level breakeven analyses. Having taken this and all relevant information up to and including the balance sheet date the Director believes that the Company has adequate resources to continue to trade effectively for the foreseeable future. On that basis, the Director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing this Report and Financial Statements.”
