- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Own grown sales increased in price and volume to record a monetary increase of 23%. The sales of traded product, salad onions and baby spinach decreased year on year by 37% on a monetary basis due to reduction in salad onion business and ceasing the production of baby spinach (deemed risk/reward too high).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
