Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared forecasts for the going concern assessment period of 12 months from signing of the financial statements, which take into consideration the current economic conditions and global events. This assessment Indicates that the company will continue to be cash generative given the ongoing trading environment and trading arrangements with the Group under a sale and distribution agreement that ensures a minimum level of profit. Further, the Directors have obtained a letter of support from their immediate parent, Merisant Company 2 Sàrl, and from intermediate parent, Sweet Oak Holdco LLC, confirming that they are able and willing to provide financial support to the company for a period of at least 12 months from signing of the financial statements, enabling the Company to meet it's liabilities as and when they fall due throughout that period.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
