- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company is reliant on the availability of banking facilities in order to meet its day to day working capital requirements. There are no indications that support will be withdrawn. On this basis the directors have concluded that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet obligations as they fall due. As such the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “On 21 August 2025, notice was received from the landlord of a farm tenanted by the company, exercising a break notice which will result in the termination of the tenancy on 30 September 2026. As the break clause was not enforced until after the balance sheet date, the full lease commitment is disclosed. Due to the relative recent nature of the notice, the financial impact cannot be reliably estimated at the date the accounts were approved.”
