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

Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have reviewed the budgets and forecast for the Company and expect that the Company will continue to be profitable and generate a positive cash inflow. The Company also has access to available cash resources via the group cash pool facility if required. The Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements and continue in existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation in these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “For the financial year ended 30 June 2025, sales declined year on year. The business had to manage multiple challenges across the supply chain impacting costs and supply. Farmers faced weather related challenges throughout the season due to wet weather.”
• “The Company continued to make significant investments throughout the year in both capital and the brand, including media advertising.”
