Audit opinion

Qualified

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements, contingent on a preference share redemption of 350,000 scheduled for April 2026 having been deferred for a period of twelve months. These preference shares are an obligation of the parent company, Triple MC Limited, but are normally paid through a dividend to the parent by Gordon McWilliam (Aberdeen) Limited. Thus the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The 2024/2025 financial year is going to be a challenging year for the Company. We look to continue growth in our dry goods sector and have also introduced fish products. This will again offer our customers easier access to ordering in one place.”
• “Challenges for the business will be down to global markets and the cost price of beef and chicken especially, being in some cases 30% higher than 2023/2024.”
• “The employment of a new sales representative gave us the opportunity to expand our customer base and offer a bigger range of products.”
• “A new dry goods range has been introduced and going forward we look forward to expanding this area of business as we see the feeling that this offers our customers one-stop shop experience.”
• “We have also introduced our online app which allows customers to order out with our working hours but suitable to their working hours.”
• “Due to the steady growth of the business, we have created more employment opportunities for the local community by increasing our staffing levels by 29% in the 2023/2024 financial year.”
