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 company is party to a Hero Topco Limited group, group wide funding arrangement, which is repayable in April 2029 and requires specific covenants to be met. In assessing the going concern of the group as a whole, the directors have also assessed potential scenarios and uncertainties in relation to such covenants. The directors are confident that the group and company, after considering downside scenarios, have the ability to pay debts as they fall due for at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements and to meet all relevant covenants tests and as such have deemed it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 1 April 2025 the company changed its name from Freshcut Foods Limited to Natural Innovations Limited.”
