- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Our long-planned Bakery extension got put aside for the time being after initial costings came back more than £2million. The board were not willing to commit to this kind of expense at this volatile time. We instead opted to find a Plan B which involved building a mezzanine over our current despatch, which was under way at the year end.”
