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

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as directors have reasonable expectations that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Forecasts were built on a bottom-up basis, stress tested, and severe but plausible downside risks assessed, considering available financial facilities.”

Significant events

• “On 19 June 2025, the Trustees of the Memory Lane Cakes Pension Scheme agreed terms with Utmost Life and Pensions Limited to buy-in the Scheme's liabilities, with the Company contributing £6.7 million to assist in the premium payment.”
• “A dividend of £2,700,000 was declared and paid during the year (2024: £7,600,000).”
• “The directors have agreed with the company's auditors that the auditors' liability to damages for breach of duty for the year to 28 June 2025 should be limited to the greater of £5m or 5 times the auditors' fees.”
