- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The main focus for 2025 and beyond is the construction of its new pasteurised egg and food production facility which represents the most significant investment of the company's history.”
- “In July 2024, the business invested in an additional grader to reduce reliance on machinery to ensure continuity of supply to our customers.”
