Material uncertainty over going concern
If these intercompany loans were recalled within the next 12 months this could impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern given its ongoing reliance on the immediate parent company for short term cash flow funding. As such, the directors have obtained a letter of support from Top Farms International Holdings Limited which pledges financial support to the Company such that it is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
