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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a firm expectation that the Group possesses sufficient resources and ongoing positive cash generation to invest in its operational platform and to continue trading for the foreseeable future. This expectation is supported by stronger business performance in the second half of the 2025 financial year and continued improvement into the 2026 financial year. The directors acknowledge the principal risks and challenges associated with the trading period ahead. However, they consider that, under all reasonable downside scenarios, sufficient measures are available to avoid breaching any financial covenants. Given the above, and after making enquiries of the directors at Group level, the directors and management of the Avara Foods Group have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
