- 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
- “During the year there was a group reconstruction to bring the Farm Shop and Farming activities under separate entities within the group. As a result of the reconstruction, the farming entity was included in the activities of Gloagburn Farm Shop Ltd for part of the year.”
