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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2021-07-31 | 2022-07-31 | 2024-07-31 | 2025-07-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | — | -3.5% | 3.8% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | 0.52x | 0.60x |

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The company made a surplus of £468k (2024: £333k deficit) for the year as shown on page 11.”
- “successful in attracting additional external income, for example £309k for the Business Optimising Online Skills Training (Boost)”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
