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

- 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
- “A grant of £600,000 is receivable from Maelor Foods, payable over a period of 10 years at £60,000 per year. The grant represents part funding for the construction of the poultry sheds. In the year ended 31 March 2024 £60,000 of the grant was recognised as a reduction in the cost of the related fixed asset. In 2025 this credit to fixed assets has been reversed with the whole of the remaining grant receivable being recognised in debtors and the full £600,000 being recognised as a deferred grant which is being released to the P&L in line with the 40 year depreciation period of the poultry sheds.”
