- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. This is due to the large net asset base of the company.”

Significant events
- “The war in Ukraine has not had as significant impact on the turnover this year, however it continues to create instability in the global market for grain. Not only does this affect the grain price there has also been the impact on input prices most notably fertilizer.”
- “A new risk emerging is that of carbon use and the impact of UK farming on carbon emissions. As part of our review we have invested in solar panels at all of our farm sites. Norton farm is now powered by electricity produced from the solar panels reducing the carbon emissions having previously been run from a diesel generator.”
