- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- 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 Group's or the parent 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
- “Russia's invasion of Ukraine in. February 2022 precipitated a demand and price spike which resulted in significantly higher than normal profits in that financial year. Since then, there have been two successive mild winters and no major world events, meaning demand and prices have not generated the anticipated profits.”
- “Whilst plans to restructure group debt are well advanced at the date of signing the Directors' report, it has been necessary to classify £10.675 million of term loan on the balance sheet as falling due within one year. However, the reality is that loan repayments have remained the same whilst the Directors work to finalise the debt restructure. This is due to be completed by the end of 2025 and will result in reduced debt and lower interest costs.”
- “The Group incurred exceptional costs relating to the restructuring of the business. The exceptional items have been recognised in administration expenditure.”
- “As referred to in Note 22, subsequent to the balance sheet date, on 22 January 2025, the bank loan of £10,675,000 was renewed until 1 December 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
