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
“In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the Directors have reviewed detailed profit and loss forecasts and cash flow forecasts, considering all reasonably foreseeable potential scenarios and uncertainties in relation to revenue and expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements have been signed. The ultimate parent company Tomra Systems ASA has confirmed it will provide financial support to the business to the extent required to allow the company to meet its liabilities for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were signed. 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.”
Significant events
- “After the reporting date of 31 December 2024, the directors of Tomra Sorting Limited approved an internal group reorganisation whereby Tomra Food, the division focused on the sale of food sorting machinery and regular servicing, will be transferred into Tomra Food (United Kingdom) Limited. There has been no adjustments to the financial statements in respect of this transaction.”
