“At 23 February 2025, the Company remains in a net current asset position, has cash at bank and in hand of £21.4m. The Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources, to remain in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, whilst the Company also has access if needed to balances owed by Tesco Group undertakings. Therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
