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

- 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
- “This year has proved to be quite challenging with an unusually wet spring, followed by a cool and wet summer together with an increase in operational costs with energy prices increased by 61% and wages by 9.5%.”
- “Challenges over the supply of products from overseas continues to be an issue due to various external factors.”
- “Food price, utility cost and wage inflation along with challenges in relation to the recruitment and retention of staff are all risks that the directors are monitoring closely.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
