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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £1,378,000 as at 28 June 2025 (2024: net current liabilities £3,080,000) the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors consider appropriate for the following reasons. When considering going concern, forecasts have been built on a bottom-up basis and stress tested to prepare an approved budget and strategic plan used as a basis for reviewing going concern. Risks and opportunities have been considered, and severe but plausible downside risks have been assessed. Having reviewed the Group's short and medium-term plans and available financial facilities, the Board has reasonable expectations that the Group, and therefore the Company, has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the directors have assumed that the amounts owed to Finsbury Food Group Limited, which as at 28 June 2025 amounted to £4,480,000 (2024: £6,200,000) will not be repayable during the going concern period and the Company has received a support letter from Finsbury Food Group Limited (the "Group") stating that, if required, the Group will assist the company in meetings its liabilities, as they fall due for a period no less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors are comfortable with this support based on the factors described below.”

Significant events

- “In FY25 Ultrapharm Limited remain focused on extending, embedding and sustaining the Operational Brilliance Programme by continuing to make incremental improvements to operations.”
