- 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
- “The Company's key strategic objective is to continue to expand and defend its position within the breakfast cereal and kids fruit snacking markets, both within the UK and in selected export markets.”
- “The Company views food safety as an inherent risk of their operations... however the controls in place reduce this to a low residual risk.”
- “Liquidity is seen as key risk of the business as it is essential funds are available to maintain operating cashflows and invest in the growth of the business. The Company monitors the risk of a shortage of funds using cash flow forecasts.”
