- 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 the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The company made a profit before tax during the year of £44k (2024 - £12K) and had a net current liability position at the year end of £646k (2024 - £434k) which includes an intercompany creditor of £8.9 million. The directors of The Harbro Group Ltd., the immediate parent company, have confirmed that the group will continue to provide any required support to the company and accordingly the directors have prepared the accounts on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 9 January 2025, 100% of the share capital of The Harbro Group Ltd was acquired by CC Agritech II Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of CC Agritech Limited. As part of the acquisition arrangements, legal title to the shares of the company was transferred to Kroll Trustee Services Limited as security in connection with the acqusition of The Harbro Group Limited.”
