Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of no less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Subsequent to the year end, on 30 April 2025 Carr's Flour Mills Limited's ultimate parent Whitworths Holdings Limited, through its 100% owned subsidiary Whitworths Food Group Limited, acquired the entire issued share capital of Quay Topco Limited, parent company in the KTC Food Group.”
• “At the same time a group re-organisation occurred whereby Whitworths Food Group Limited purchased the share capital of Whitworth Bros. Limited and Carr's Flour Mills Limited from Whitworths Holdings Limited.”
• “To allow for this expansion of the group, the group's banking facilities were refinanced after the year end. The new facilities are for £290m with a minimum three-year term with potential extension options. The term currently expires in March 2028.”

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
