“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. The Directors have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the member nominated and employee nominated Trustees of the Company's defined benefit pension Kemira GrowHow UK Ltd Pension Fund (West scheme) and Terra Nitrogen (UK) Limited Pension Scheme (East scheme) were removed and Capital Cranfield Pension Trustees Limited (the Trustee) agreed to continue as the sole corporate professional trustee. The deeds of removal were signed on 17 October 2025 and 21 October 2025, respectively. The Trustee entered into bulk annuity ("buy in") insurance contracts.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
