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 has net current assets of £1,742,000, net assets of £8,970,000 and reported a loss before tax of £1,662,000 for the year ended 31 May 2025. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements from operational cash flows and trading balances with entities under the control of the group headed by Cargill Inc, the ultimate parent company, and the use of a cash pooling facility managed by the group treasury function which is a fellow subsidiary of Cargill Inc. This is a formal cash pool arrangement; therefore the company can request additional funding as and when required subject to Cargill Global Funding's (part of the group treasury function) approval. The directors have prepared business forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, including rising energy costs, increasing inflation, raw material cost volatility and product quality issues, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for 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.”
