- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Further details can be found in note 2.3. Taking into account the base case and the downside scenarios modelled over the Going Concern period, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company, supported by the AM Fresh Group, has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors have therefore prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. 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.”

Significant events
- “A new state of the art packing facility was opened during the prior year and enabled construction of new grape and citrus lines to generate further operational capacity and efficiencies, which completed in November 2023. Operations have transitioned to the new lines throughout the year.”
- “The Company's fruit juice distribution business was transferred to another undertaking during the year.”
- “At the balance sheet date, the Company held a short-term trade facility with National Westminster Bank PLC totalling £15,634k as part of an asset financing arrangement. On 15th October 2024, the facility was converted into lease purchase agreements with Lombard North Central PLC. The conversion of the trade facility to a lease purchase agreement did not meet the criteria for a sale having occurred under IFRS 15.32 and will be accounted for as financial liabilities under IFRS 9 from the date of the new agreement.”
