- Audit opinion
- Disclaimer of opinion
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company is well funded with a strong net current asset position, it is profitable and generating substantial cash inflow and, based on the directors' forecasts prepared until July 2026, that position is expected to continue. The company's working capital position is supported by loans from other group companies. Although the loans are repayable on demand, the companies have confirmed in writing that they will continue to support the company's working capital for the foreseeable future and will not recall the loans within the next 12 months, unless the company has sufficient working capital to allow it to continue to trade independently. Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no material uncertainty and they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the period the company continued to integrate 3M's UK food safety business into the Neogen Group.”
