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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The forecasts including the downside scenario, together with other factors, illustrate that the company may require additional funding and support from Monde Nissin Corporation, the Parent Company under certain scenarios. Consequently, the Directors have obtained a letter of parental support from Monde Nissin Corporation, the company's ultimate parent, that confirms that the Parent Company will provide financial support to the Company to assist in meeting its liabilities to the extent that funding is not otherwise available to the Company to meet such liabilities. The directors have reviewed the Parent Company cash flow forecasts to confirm its ability to provide such support until 30 June 2027. Therefore, the Directors have a reasonable and proper expectation that the Group will continue to have adequate resources for the foreseeable future and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
